Fed Chair Powell May Signal a Gradual Rate Cut Strategy

According to ChainCatcher, citing Jinshi News, PGIM Chief Global Economist Daleep Singh stated in a report that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell may signal a more gradual rate cut strategy at the Jackson Hole meeting. Last week’s US CPI and PPI data showed that inflation in the US remains stubborn, staying above 3%. PGIM expects the Fed to cut rates by a total of 100 basis points by next year, which is about 50 basis points less than current market expectations.
