[CNBC Host: Concerns Over Bank Bad Loans Could Provide Reason for Fed to Cut Rates Early]
According to a report by Golden Finance, as news of bank bad loans shakes Wall Street, CNBC financial host Jim Cramer stated that this latest development could pave the way for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, a move widely anticipated by investors. He said, 'Today's market is indeed terrible, but at least we finally have a reason that could compel the Fed to cut rates sooner rather than later—bank loan bad debts. Nothing prompts the Fed to act faster than credit losses, as they are a clear signal of economic downturn.'
On Thursday, U.S. stock indices broadly declined as investor concerns over the health of regional banks' loan businesses intensified. Cramer pointed out that bad loans are an early warning sign indicating that it is time for the central bank to ease monetary policy. The banking system has seen 'enough problem loans within a week,' which is sufficient for the Fed to cut rates quickly without excessive concern over inflation. He emphasized that lower borrowing rates could not only broadly stimulate the economy but also make it easier for borrowers to avoid defaults. (Jin10)
