Rate Cut Odds Hit 91.4% for September
Markets see a 91.4% chance of a September rate cut, sparking optimism across stocks and crypto.
- Markets price in a 91.4% chance of a September rate cut.
- Expectations driven by soft economic data and inflation trends.
- Crypto markets rally on hopes of cheaper borrowing.
Market Bets Strongly on September Rate Cut
The probability of a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September has soared to 91.4%, according to the latest market data. This sharp increase in expectations comes after a series of economic reports showing slower growth and cooling inflation.
Investors believe the Fed could move to lower borrowing costs to stimulate economic activity. Such a move would make loans cheaper for businesses and consumers, potentially boosting spending and investment.
Why the Odds Are Rising
Several factors are driving the rate cut sentiment:
- Weak economic indicators have shown slower job growth and reduced consumer spending.
- Inflation easing toward the Fed’s 2% target has given policymakers more room to act.
- Global economic concerns have increased calls for a more accommodative policy.
The bond market has responded strongly, with yields dropping as traders bet heavily on easier monetary policy in the near term.
Impact on Crypto and Stocks
A rate cut generally reduces the appeal of holding cash and fixed-income assets, pushing investors toward riskier assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies. Following the latest odds, Bitcoin and other major cryptos saw a noticeable uptick, as traders anticipate fresh liquidity inflows.
Market analysts warn, however, that while the probability is high, the Fed could still hold off if upcoming data shows unexpected strength. The next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in September will be closely watched for confirmation.
