[Pepperstone Head of Research: Powell's stance unknown but may support a December rate cut] Pepperstone Head of Research Chris Weston stated that the market is highly focused on the Federal Reserve voting members' stance on a December rate cut, but the complete data influencing policy decisions has not yet been obtained. Weston believes that although Powell's view remains unknown, it can be assumed that he might support a December rate cut. Currently, the shift in rate cut expectations has limited impact on the U.S. dollar. Weston pointed out that in the context of a fragile labor market and declining U.S. inflation expectations, the market may react poorly if rates remain unchanged in December.
