Federal Reserve: After December's Rate Cut, It May Slow Down or Even Halt the Rate Cut Process

Renowned reporter Nick Timiraos from the Wall Street Journal, known as the Fed's megaphone, pointed out in his latest article that the Fed's rate cut plans are in a state of continuous flux. Currently, investors widely expect this week to see the third consecutive rate cut. After this rate cut, the Fed may begin to slow the pace of rate cuts, and it is even possible that they will stop cutting rates altogether. Nick Timiraos mentioned that Powell is striving to find the right policy stance amid a stabilizing labor market and a more solid inflation situation than in September. Some officials have expressed doubts about the continuation of rate cuts, and even those who strongly supported the first two rate cuts are no longer as certain. One possible scenario this week is a 25 basis point rate cut, followed by a strong hint through new economic forecasts that the central bank will proceed with rate cuts at a slower pace. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley predicts that expectations for a pause in rate cuts next year are continuously increasing, as long-term U.S. Treasury bonds face a five-day decline, marking the worst weekly performance of the year. The market's expectations for the Fed's future policy direction are becoming increasingly cautious, especially regarding the pace of rate cuts in 2025, which is filled with concerns and doubts. #比特币战略储备 #puppies币 #puppies，一级市场难得的金狗 $BTC
