ChainCatcher news, Wilmington Trust's bond portfolio manager Wil Stith stated that if the inflation data released on Thursday is stronger than expected, and the non-farm payroll data on Friday is hotter than anticipated, "I think they can discuss pausing the rate cuts because they have already cut rates by 50 basis points before." LPL Financial's chief economist Jeffrey Roach also believes that strong job growth could persuade the Federal Reserve to pause rate cuts in November. However, other observers of the Federal Reserve indicate that the upcoming data on Thursday and Friday is unlikely to change the Fed's rate cut trajectory.Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group, said, "No matter what the data says, the Fed is already on a path to cut rates by 25 basis points in November, and it is unlikely that the central bank will change this trajectory." Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, stated, "There is no reason to believe that the Fed won't cut rates by another 25 basis points in November, unless there is a significant surprise in the employment report."Currently, many traders agree with this assessment. As of last Friday, investors expected a greater than 90% chance that the Federal Reserve would cut rates by 25 basis points at the November meeting.

ChainCatcher news, this week is a busy week for economic data.

Due to the instability in the Middle East and the U.S. election, along with global central bank rate cut expectations, spot gold reached a historical high for three consecutive days last week before giving back some gains, but still ended the week up over 0.9%, marking its sixth consecutive week of increases. The tense situation in the Middle East has pushed both U.S. and Brent crude oil prices up over 4% for the week.Recently, the market has increasingly anticipated a soft landing for the U.S. economy, and this week's series of economic data will test investors' bets. On Wednesday, the U.S. Q3 GDP estimate will be released, followed by the September PCE data on Thursday, and the October non-farm report on Friday. With the policy meeting approaching, Fed officials have once again entered their routine blackout period, and the market widely believes there is a high possibility of a 25 basis point rate cut.
