Fed's mouthpiece: Market focus shifts to whether the Fed will cut interest rates twice this year, with excessive inflation preventing aggressive easing. Nick Timiraos, a renowned Wall Street Journal reporter and known as the "Fed's mouthpiece," published a new article titled "Powell's Rate Cut Signals a Delicate Economic Predicament." He argues that Fed Chairman Powell is cautiously paving the way for a rate cut next month, but is sending a subtle message to those hoping for aggressive easing: don't expect drastic action. With the market already pricing in a September rate cut, focus is shifting to whether the Fed will consider further rate cuts at its final two meetings of the year (October and December). 📱@Money📱Twitter
