[Institutional opinions predicting a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve: A sharp rate cut may cause market panic] On September 18, the institutional opinions predicting a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve were summarized as follows: 1. Royal Bank of Canada: The US economy is expected to normalize rather than decline, so the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September. 2. Standard Chartered Bank: The reason for the 25 basis point cut is that the inflation data to be released soon does not support the view that inflation is rapidly approaching the 2% target. 3. Commerzbank: Widespread risk aversion, stabilizing oil prices and solid economic data have weakened the possibility of a 50 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve. 4. Maybank: A sharp rate cut will send the wrong signal to the market and cause market panic, so the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. 5. Stock broker AngelOne: Considering the upcoming US presidential election, the Federal Reserve is not expected to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in a dovish manner. US retail sales unexpectedly grew by 0.1% month-on-month in August, indicating that the US economy remained robust in the third quarter. (Jinshi)
