US Treasury Secretary Yellen: The Federal Reserve May Cut Interest Rates in September or Earlier
2025/07/02 16:03According to a report by Jinse Finance, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated on Tuesday evening that he believes the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates in September or "even earlier," as so far, Trump's tariffs have only triggered moderate inflation. "I think the standard is that tariffs do not cause inflation. If they are going to follow this standard, I think they may act sooner, but certainly before September," Bessent said. "I suspect this tariff imbalance syndrome might even occur at the Federal Reserve." Bessent made these remarks as Trump increased pressure on the Fed and Powell, demanding a rate cut of up to 3 percentage points.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
