“It’s time to act” and be ready for more rate cuts

Hôm kiaThe Fed raised interest rates to curb inflation, which peaked at a historic 9.1% in June 2022. Maintaining very high interest rates over the past two years has caused many difficulties for Americans, and the economy has recently shown many negative signs, affecting the labor market. Many experts are worried that the US economy will fall into recession. Over the past month, Fed officials have sent many signals that the bank will cut interest rates.

The clearest signal was on August 23 when Fed Chairman Jerome Powell gave a speech saying that "it is time to adjust monetary policy", when inflation in the US has decreased significantly and the labor market has also cooled down to normal levels. Mr. Powell said that the Fed "will do everything" to support a strong labor market. This statement was immediately interpreted as the Fed will begin the process of cutting interest rates from the September meeting.
