Economista-chefe do Citigroup: Fed cortará primeiramente 25 pontos-base

Odaily Planet Daily News Citigroup's chief economist, chief investment strategist and interim chief investment officer Steven Wieting believes that the most likely outcome of this week's Fed rate decision is a 25 basis point cut, but he emphasizes that no one knows exactly what the Fed will do. He said, 'We expect a 25 basis point cut, but if Fed officials want to do it faster, we will accept a 50 basis point cut, and if they are willing to act quickly, they can also cut rates quickly.' However, Steven Wieting pointed out that the Fed's rate cut history shows that when adjusting monetary policy to adapt to the current economic situation, the Central Bank will cut rates by 25 basis points; and when the economy is on the edge of recession, the Fed usually makes larger rate cuts. Steven Wieting apontou que, como ele prevê que o Fed fará 200 pontos base de corte nas taxas até meados de 2025, um corte de 25 ou 50 pontos base nesta reunião não mudaria as regras do jogo. Ele acredita que o momento é o mais importante. (FXStreet)
