Wall Street expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again at its last meeting of the year
ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the pace of U.S. inflation slowdown seems to have lost momentum, which may raise questions about how aggressively the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates early next year. The market expects the U.S. CPI index for October to rise by 0.2% month-on-month, with some on Wall Street predicting a rise of 0.3%, which would match the largest increase in the past six months. Meanwhile, the year-on-year growth rate may rise from 2.4% to 2.6%, marking the first increase in eight months.
However, even if the CPI inflation data for October is strong, Wall Street still expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates again at its last meeting of the year in December. But January of next year will be when doubts begin to intensify.
