Michelle Bowman, Vice Chair For Supervision Of The Us Federal Reserve (Fed), Hinted At The Possibility Of A July Base Interest Rate Cut. She Said, “If There Are Clear Signs That Inflationary Pressures Are Easing, An Interest Rate Cut Could Be Discussed At The July Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting.”

This Is The First Direct Mention From A Senior Fed Official Of A 'July Cut', And The Market Is Paying Attention To It. Recently, Concerns Within The Fed About A Delay In Price Stability Have Remained, But As Some Indicators Show A Slowing Trend, The Possibility Of A Stance Change Is Gradually Being Raised.

Bowman's Remarks Show How Sensitive The Fed Is Currently To Inflation Data. Depending On The Future Consumer Price Index (CPI) And Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Indicators, The Fed's Decisions Could Be Flexibly Adjusted.

In The Financial Market, Expectations For A Rate Cut Have Resurfaced With These Remarks, Ahead Of The July FOMC.
