Depends on inflation, if inflation target 🎯 remains under 2 percent
Lower rates should mean more commercial activity
The other question is will the bond yield curve remain inverted

I've heard many economists say that when rates fall the market will crash, how true can this be? because they supposedly discount that something bad is happening in the economy and that is why they lower interest rates.

A sharp fall of rates normally anticipates a deep recession. This will make investors reduce their holdings while insolvencies rise etc etc. The market crash is the bursting bubble that follows when the herd leaves the room, needs cash

This is what usually happens, that is, there has never been a fall in interest rates without a recession, or I am wrong
