Institutions: The Fed is expected to cut interest rates as early as June.

ChainCatcher message, according to Jinshi’s report, Bastian Freitag, head of the fixed income department of Rothschild Wealth Management in Germany, said that it is expected that the Federal Reserve will maintain its current stance this week, with the earliest window for the next interest rate cut in June. Freitag stated in a report that inflation continues to stagnate above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and this sideways trend may continue. Punitive tariffs already imposed by the U.S. government and those still to be imposed may continue to push up prices. “At the same time, we observe that survey-based inflation expectations have risen, which reduces the Fed’s room for early rate cuts,” Freitag said. He expects the Fed to cut rates in June, September, and the first quarter of 2026.
