Central banks expected to start cutting rates in 2024 due to declining inflation

2024 is projected to be the year when most central banks around the world start cutting rates as inflation returns to target levels. The decline in inflation, including core inflation, allows central banks to normalize rates from high levels. Emerging markets have already begun cutting rates, with the ECB, the Fed, and the Bank of England expected to follow suit in that order. This expectation has already impacted interest rates and led to a sell-off in the US dollar.
