Daily market key data review and trend analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market observation In a complex macroeconomic environment, the Fed's policy decision this week has become the focus of the market. The market generally expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, with a probability of 88.6% to 95%, but Bank of America and other institutions believe that given the structural cooling of the labor market with "low hiring, low turnover, and rising layoffs", the Fed may send a "hawkish rate cut" signal, that is, cut interest rates but hint at the possibility of future policy tightening.
