Interest Rate Cut Expectations Continue!

While it is now certain that the FED will make its first interest rate cut in September following positive inflation data, it is thought that an interest rate cut in July will be premature.

According to CEM FedWatch, the probability that the FED will keep interest rates constant on July 31 is priced at 93.3%, while the probability of an interest rate cut in September is priced at 87.7%.
