Margin Debt Hits Record $1.5T Amid Fed Rate Cut Expectations

US margin debt has hit an unprecedented level of $1.5 trillion in June, representing a significant increase of 49% compared to last year's figures. This surge marks a 136% rise since Q4 2023 and has pushed leverage relative to US nominal GDP above historical peaks seen during the Dot-Com bubble and the 2021 market boom.

The escalation in margin debt reflects increased risk-taking, driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Historically, rapid leverage expansions have been linked to heightened market volatility and uncertainty regarding economic stability.
