Wall Street hopes rate cuts will force clients out of cash in 2025​


(Reuters) - Wall Street executives at the Reuters Next conference in New York expect a $7-trillion cash pile that proved invulnerable to falling interest rates in 2024 to start melting next year as easier monetary policy tempts clients out of the ultra-conservative asset class.

So far, such hopes have been in vain. Cash in money markets rose by about $824 billion this year, according to Crane Data, dashing expectations it would find a home in stocks or bonds as the Federal Reserve began cutting rates.

Proponents of the asset class have said they are happy earning rates of around 4% - far above the near-zero return cash was paying only a few years ago - with comparatively little risk. But sitting on the sidelines has come at a cost: the S&P 500 is up around 27% this year, gold is up about 30% and the Russell 2000 Index of smallcap companies is up more than 17%.
