Traders bet ECB will follow Fed in 50 basis point rate cut
Odaily Planet Daily News Money markets have increased bets on the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy to a degree far beyond policymakers expectations. Soon after, the market also increased bets that the European Central Bank would follow the Feds lead in cutting interest rates. Traders currently believe that there is a 60% chance that the ECB will cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September, having fully digested the expectation that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September. At the same time, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Bank of England is rising. These bets are likely to continue, increasing safe-haven buying of bonds at a time when the market is generally fleeing risky assets. (Jinshi)
Feds Goolsbee: The options of raising and lowering interest rates have always been on the table and will respond according to the economic situation
Odaily Planet Daily News: When asked about the emergency rate cut, Feds Goolsbee said that options including rate hikes and rate cuts have always been on the table. If the economy deteriorates, the Fed will take measures to fix it. The Feds degree of restraint on real interest rates is the highest in decades and will respond according to the economic situation. The Fed still maintains a balanced risk posture and must pay attention to the weakness in the job market. It should be adjusted according to the overall situation; inflation has fallen sharply and employment conditions are relatively good. Before the September meeting, the Fed can wait for more data. It is not the Feds job to react to one months employment data. (Jinshi)
