Analysis
Recently, the market has seen an early shift in expectations for a Fed rate cut. Both JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup have adjusted their rate cut timing expectations. JPMorgan Chase originally expected the Fed to cut rates in March, but the latest nonfarm payrolls data showed a strong economy, so they adjusted their rate cut timing expectations to June. Citigroup, on the other hand, adjusted its rate cut timing expectations from January to May. The adjustments by both institutions indicate that market expectations for a Fed rate cut are changing. Previously, the market generally expected the Fed to cut rates in the first quarter of this year, but the latest economic data suggests that the Fed may need more time to observe economic conditions and assess whether a rate cut is necessary.
