JPMorgan: Uncertainty about future Fed rate cuts will linger after this week's meeting
According to Odaily, David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, stated that the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this week may not be able to solve a core problem facing the market, which is how many rate cuts are expected for the rest of the year. When Federal Reserve officials last released their forecasts, they predicted only a 25-basis-point rate cut by 2024. But even if the Federal Reserve's new forecast is adjusted to two rate cuts this year, it will still be far below traders' expectations. Kelly pointed out that the futures market's pricing essentially reflects that by the end of December, the Federal Reserve will cut rates by a full 100 basis points or more. The actual policy path will depend on the employment and inflation data released before the next meetings in November and December.
