Big players reduce bets on interest rate cuts; the possibility of a rate cut may be delayed until May this year. What impacts will this have on the cryptocurrency market?
Wells Fargo believes that the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in March is becoming smaller. Citibank has also postponed its expectation for the Fed's next interest rate cut from January to May. Given the strong non-farm employment data, JPMorgan has adjusted its expectation for the Fed's next interest rate cut from March to June. Bank of America has stated that the rate-cutting cycle may have ended, believing that the Fed will maintain rates unchanged for an extended period, and that the next action is more likely to be an interest rate hike. Goldman Sachs has lowered its forecast for the Fed's rate cut this year from 75 basis points to 50 basis points, expecting cuts of 25 basis points in June and December. Although Morgan Stanley stated that there is still a considerable possibility of a March rate cut due to favorable inflation prospects, it also acknowledged that the non-farm payroll report has reduced the likelihood of a recent Fed rate cut.
