最新报道:Lloyds Bank analysts predict the U.S. Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady in July, citing persistent inflation and strong economic data. The bank notes core inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target, while labor market resilience reduces urgency for rate cuts. Market expectations currently price in a 90% chance of no change, with potential cuts delayed until September or later. Lloyds maintains its forecast for two 25-basis-point reductions in 2024, contingent on clearer signs of economic cooling. The report highlights diverging global central bank policies, with the ECB having already begun easing while the Fed adopts a more cautious stance.
