Odaily Planet Daily News: Forvis Mazars Chief Economist George Lagarias told CNBC on Thursday that while no one can guarantee the size of the Fed's rate cut at the upcoming meeting, he is "firmly" in the camp calling for a 25 basis point cut. "I don't think there is an urgency to cut rates by 50 basis points," Lagarias said. "A 50 basis point cut could send the wrong message to the market and the economy. And as we all know, a recession can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, so if they do this without a particular reason, it would be very dangerous. Unless something happens to make the market uneasy, there is no need to cause panic." (Jinshi)
