The Federal Reserve may cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, signaling the start of an easing cycle.

According to ChainCatcher, citing Golden Ten Data, Mizuho Bank stated that the U.S. August non-farm payrolls report further confirms the weakening trend in the labor market, with employment, working hours, and income growth rates having fallen back to pandemic-era levels. The Federal Reserve is almost certain to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting, and if August inflation is weaker than expected, the possibility of a 50 basis point rate cut increases. It is expected that the Federal Reserve will initiate a sustained easing cycle, aiming to lower interest rates to around 3%.
