Investors have increased their expectations for multiple Federal Reserve interest rate cuts by the end of 2024 after Chair Jerome Powell indicated the central bank has 'ample room' for policy adjustments. Markets are now pricing in four 0.25% cuts, with speculation that a larger cut may occur as early as September if labor market weaknesses persist. Conversely, economist Mohamed El-Erian cautions that traders might be overestimating the number of cuts, predicting a more realistic 75 basis points reduction by year-end. Meanwhile, Abrdn Investment Management is betting on deeper rate cuts from the Bank of England, suggesting that financial markets may be underestimating shifts in UK monetary policy. The upcoming annual Jackson Hole symposium will provide further insights into the Fed's direction, with Powell's speech being highly anticipated. The divergent views on rate cuts highlight the uncertainty in economic forecasts and market reactions.
