Institution: The Federal Reserve is expected to make its next rate cut as early as June

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Bastian Freitag, head of the German fixed income department at Rothschild Wealth Management, stated that the Federal Reserve is expected to remain on hold this week, with the earliest window for the next rate cut in June.

In a report, Freitag noted that inflation continues to stagnate above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, and this sideways trend may persist. The punitive tariffs already imposed by the U.S. government and those that will still be imposed may continue to elevate prices. "Meanwhile, we have observed an increase in survey-based inflation expectations, which reduces the Fed's room for premature rate cuts," Freitag said. He expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates in June, September, and the first quarter of 2026.
