Odaily Odaily News: Steve Englander, head of global foreign exchange research and macro strategy at Standard Chartered Bank, said that the market's reaction, that is, a weaker dollar and slightly lower bond yields, is roughly correct. Powell did not say "Yes, we are going to start the easing cycle with three 50 basis point rate cuts," what he did was to focus very much on the fact that the inflation target is just around the corner. They are worried about the labor market and say that the labor market does not have to weaken further. Therefore, without giving a timetable, this remark implies that the door is opened to a 50 basis point rate cut at some point. We still do not think that a 50 basis point rate cut is the first move, but if the labor market continues to weaken, this may come soon. (Jinshi)
