Deep dives
US Fed Rate Cuts and Global Market Impact
The discussion centers around the potential for the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, following Jerome Powell's insights during the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. Powell acknowledged that the Fed initially misjudged inflation, leading to rapid rate hikes that reached a 23-year high. With inflation now closer to the Fed's 2% target, he indicated that policy adjustments are imminent, which could signal rate cuts as early as September. Lower interest rates may boost global risk appetites, positively impacting emerging markets like India by easing debt servicing for companies and possibly raising commodity prices.
