This Sector Will Jump After the Fed Rate Cut – and So Will These 2 Stocks

Wall Street loves to buy the rumor and sell the news.

Why else do you think stocks are rallying to record highs this summer?

The ultimate rumor today is the "Federal Reserve Put."

Dovish policy from the central bank means traders are willing to take more risk. Stocks have been going up ever since the change in tone back in January.

The expectation is for the central bank to now cut interest rates.

It's not exactly a secret.

Usually in these situations, the market will sell off when the news actually becomes reality.

But there is one sector where investors should buy the news, not sell. Today, I'll show you the sector that will profit from the Fed rate cut, along with the two best stocks to buy...

Why Is the Federal Reserve Cutting Rates?

There is a very good reason the Federal Reserve will be cutting rates soon.

Inflation is nonexistent.

That means interest rates on the long end of the curve are falling hard.

A little short-term rate cut is not going to change that, and the bond market knows it.

As such, those long-term rates are going down, down, and down some more.

Only quantitative easing and flooding cash into the system will change the inflation story. But we are still far away from that happening.

So while we watch long-term bond rates, the homebuilding sector is going to take off.

Entirely dependent on low mortgage rates to spur buying demand, homebuilders do not do well when inflation is present.

Homebuilders will also struggle when there is a recession, but there is minimal of chance of negative economic growth anytime soon.

So while the stock market may react negatively to the actual rate cut, homebuilding stocks are going to increase in value as mortgage rates fall.

It is somewhat of a perfect storm for the sector.

On a fundamental basis, the timing to buy homebuilding stocks is fantastic.

A great rule of thumb is to use book value as your guide on homebuilder stock valuation.

When homebuilder stocks trade for book value or less, it has been a great time to buy historically.

The opposite is true when homebuilder stocks trade for much greater than book value.

The inefficiency in the market today is that several homebuilder stocks are trading for book value or less.

That's because investors are convinced a recession or worse is on the horizon.

The data just doesn't support such an outcome.

Therefore, homebuilder stocks should be bought when the Federal Reserve cuts rates even if the rest of the market is selling the rumor.

Here are two of my favorites...
