ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi, Bank of America economists said in a report on Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole conference on Friday that the Fed's focus on the cooling of the US labor market still requires a 25 basis point rate cut in September, not a 50 basis point cut.
Bank of America said that despite Powell's more dovish tone, "we don't think he opened the door to a 50 basis point rate cut." "On the contrary, he implicitly supports a gradual rate cut." If the risk of a recession rises, a larger cut will occur. "A very weak employment report may allow us to achieve this goal, but the decline in unemployment claims shows that this should not be the basic situation."
