Bank of America says that if Federal Reserve keeps cutting interest rates, one stock sector could outperform all others.
Savita Subramanian, head of US Equity and Quantitative Research at BofA, said that retailers with lower prices or consumer staples will benefit greatly if the Fed loosens monetary policy.

From a sectoral perspective, I believe that if the Fed cuts and possibly stimulates consumption, that would actually offset some of the pain felt by lower income consumers.
We’ve seen that during Fed-cutting cycles, consumer staples, or lower priced retailers tend to perform better than the overall market.
The consumer with lower incomes felt the most acute pinch of inflation in rent, utilities, insurance and food. Rent, utilities, insurances, food and other necessities were more painful for the lower income consumer. .”
Subramanian points out that the upcoming midterms may influence policies to be more populist than trade focused.
I think that as we approach the next midterm election, there could be a more populist, friendly policy than this year’s trade-focused and inflationary policy.
These could really be positive factors for a return in the broader story of consumption.”
