Major brokerages now expect Fed to cut rates in September
Aug 6, 2024 2:54 AM

August 6 (Reuters) -Brokerages including J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have forecast a 50 basis-point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September after a surprisingly weak U.S. employment report for July.

The U.S. unemployment rate jumped to near a three-year high of 4.3% in July amid a significant slowdown in hiring, fuelling concerns fears that the labor market was deteriorating and potentially making the economy vulnerable to a recession.

BofA Global Research brought forward its expectation of the first cut to September from December, while other major brokerages now expect the Fed to cut rates in all the three remaining meetings of the year.

Here are the forecasts from major brokerages after the July unemployment data:
