Analyst: The next Fed rate cut window may be in May or later

Odaily Planet Daily News Matthias Scheiber, head of Allspring's global investment multi-asset solutions team, said that given the growing concerns about tariffs and their potential impact on US economic growth and inflation, the Federal Reserve has adopted a widely expected "wait-and-see" attitude towards interest rates. We believe that the next possible window for the Fed to cut interest rates will be May or later, and some market analysts now expect three rate cuts in 2025, rather than the two expected a month ago. The interest rate market currently expects the Fed to cut interest rates to around 3.75% by the end of the year. Much depends on how the balance of inflation and growth tilts. The economy may continue to weaken, and the Federal Reserve may need to cut interest rates more forcefully than expected. (Jinshi)
