After years of quantitative easing, U.S. bank reserves have risen to 1,600 times what they were before the collapse of Lehman Brothers, weakening the Fed’s ability to influence the economy, and raising interest rates may be the only way to tighten policy. Economists at Nomura said the Fed is losing leverage over the U.S. economy and may need to raise interest rates sharply, which might trigger another sell-off in stocks and bonds.

Wedbush analysts believe tech stocks will rebound by the end of the year as a new tech bull market overcomes Fed concerns in the short term. The bank’s optimism on technology stocks continues unabated, with artificial intelligence (AI)-driven growth set to rocket the technology industry over the next 12 to 18 months.
