Statements shake markets before the Federal Meeting

Kevin Hassett – former economic advisor to the White House and candidate to succeed Jerome Powell – stated that the time is right for the Federal Reserve to cautiously lower interest rates again, adding that he expects another cut during next week's meeting.

According to reliable economic sources, economists expect the Fed to implement another cut this week to address the increasing risks in the labor market, followed by:

🔹 A temporary halt in the cutting cycle after this week's step

🔹 Only one additional cut in 2026 by 25 basis points

🔹 The beginning of this potential cut will be in March 2026 (03/2026)

Economists believe that any step to lower interest rates now will likely be accompanied by a long waiting period before resuming monetary easing again.
