In July, I created MarketMasterAI, a powerful AI tool to help investors pick winning stocks.

Since the Federal Reserve announced that it would look to lower interest rates in 2024, rates are rapidly falling. The U.S. dollar has also weakened significantly, which is not unusual when rates drop. This is due to there being less incentive to save money in a country’s currency when its rates are lower. As a
