According to a Reuters survey, 85% of economists expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting, reaching 3.75% -4.00%. Nearly 53% of forecasters expect at least one more rate hike by the end of March next year. (Source: Reuters) AI interpretation: The Federal Reserve has forcefully suppressed inflation through continuous interest rate hikes, and the tightening cycle of monetary policy has entered a deep water zone. The market's expectations for peak interest rates continue to rise, reflecting institutions' high vigilance towards the stubbornness of inflation. The high interest rate environment directly drives up the financing costs of enterprises, thereby forming substantial constraints on the expansion of the real economy. This aggressive tightening path clarifies the Federal Reserve's policy stance of prioritizing the fight against inflation, and in the short term, financial market liquidity will continue to be under pressure.
