[The Federal Reserve May Adopt a Cautious Stance Due to Limited Economic Data] Crédit Mutuel AM analyst François Rimeau stated that the government shutdown has resulted in limited economic data, which may lead the Federal Reserve to adopt a cautious stance during its rate meeting. It is expected that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will describe economic growth as robust, with the labor market generally balanced but facing slight downside risks. Inflation expectations remain stable, and the moderate weakness in the labor market is not seen as a factor driving up prices. The market anticipates the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points, with investors focusing on comments regarding future policy outlook.
