Source: Reuters Institution: Fed Expected to Cut Rates by 25BP This Week, Powell May Emphasize High Bar for Future Cuts

BlockBeats News, December 8th: The US dollar weakened today as the market awaits the Federal Reserve's policy decision to be announced later this week. It is widely expected that this meeting will once again result in a rate cut. Analysts at Deutsche Bank stated in a report that the Fed may announce its third and final 25 basis points rate cut of 2025 on Wednesday, with expectations that this rate decision will not receive unanimous support.

The analysts noted that Fed Chairman Powell's press conference and accompanying statement will be crucial. "We expect Powell to emphasize that the threshold for further rate cuts in early 2026 is high, signaling a temporary pause in rate cuts."
