Is a rate cut in September confirmed? What did the Federal Reserve say?

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced its latest interest rate decision in the early morning of August 1st Taiwan time. The decision was to keep the interest rate unchanged for the eighth consecutive time, maintaining the benchmark rate between 5.25%-5.5%.

However, during the post-meeting press conference, Federal Reserve Chair Powell stated that a rate cut in September is possible. This is certainly big news, indicating the start of a rate cut cycle, which could lead to further rate cuts in the future. The U.S. stock market immediately responded with a rally, closing the day with gains across the board.
