美联储降息25个基点

Odaily Odaily reported that the Federal Reserve&#39;s 2024 annual interest rate decision has come to an end. The bank decided to cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.25%-4.50%, the third consecutive rate cut, which was in line with expectations. In the eight resolutions this year, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates by a total of 100 basis points, including one 50 basis point cut, two 25 basis point cuts, and five other cuts to keep interest rates unchanged.

The Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 25 basis points

According to the news from Mars Finance, AJ Bell's investment director Russ Mould: He agrees with the market's expectation that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points at this meeting. However, the Federal Reserve's economic outlook may show that there will only be two rate cuts next year. After a little over a week of Trump's inauguration next month, the Federal Reserve will hold another meeting, and whether the possibility of a rate cut in January has been completely ruled out? I wouldn't say so. The Federal Reserve is known for being "data-dependent" and is committed to its dual mandate of inflation and employment. But behind Powell, the huge federal deficit means $1 trillion in annual interest payments, which is putting pressure on U.S. economic growth. If interest rates can be lowered to reduce interest payments, this would be beneficial for the United States, as well as the president-elect Trump.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to announce its interest rate decision at 3 am on the 19th. The market generally expects the Fed to cut rates by another 25 basis points in December. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the market expects a 95.4% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in December, with only a 2% probability of leaving rates unchanged.
This marks the third consecutive rate cut by the Federal Reserve since September, with the cumulative rate cut reaching 1 percentage point, bringing the target range to 4.25-4.50%.

Bitcoin falls below 104,000. The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates tonight is over 95%, but will it be suspended next year?

The Wall Street strategist and president of research firm Yardeni Research, Ed Yardeni, said that the general expectation is that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points this week, but this may be a bad idea.

"One of the things we've heard recently from Fed Chairman Powell is that 'the economy is strong, we don't need to rush to cut rates.' If that's the case, then why do something this week?" Yardeni asked on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday morning.
