Good morning : )
Recent reports suggest that investors expect that the Fed will cut interest rates soon.
Reports to be delivered today, June 7, 2024, may confirm or not confirm the marketās expectations.
While the
#FederalReserve may observe these expectations, its vote in either direction next week will depend on its members' views and whether they agree that its existing policy is actually working. (I suspect that the Fed will announce similar wording as the Bank of England. Letās hold, wait, and see.)
In the meantime, here is the recent
#InterestRateDecision of overseas central banks:
On May 9, 2024, the Bank of England announced its ādecision to hold interest rates at 5.25%.ā
#BankofEngland added, āThe progress we are seeing in the key economic data is encouraging, but we are not yet at the point of cutting interest ratesā and āWe need to see more evidence that inflation will stay low before we can do that.ā
On June 5, 2024, the
#BankofCanada ādecided monetary policy no longer needs to be as restrictive and lowered the policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.75%.ā
On June 6, 2024, the
#EuropeanCentralBank said, āThe Governing Council today decided to lower the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points.ā
