Stocks have climbed this year, buoyed by excitement about the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) -- tech stocks roared higher, helping the S&P 500 post a 20% gain so far. But one major problem has weighed on market sentiment, and that's the high interest rate environment. The Federal Reserve has boosted rates over the past two years to tame runaway inflation. The efforts worked, but left consumers and businesses with higher borrowing costs, something that hurt their ability to spend, and this also weighed on companies' ability to expand.Last month though, the Fed made a key move to turn things around.

Of course, it will take time for this to happen, and it probably will require additional rate cuts to significantly bring down costs.
