The Fed is not inclined to cut rates soon. This raises a critical question: if not now, when then?
The Federal Reserve (Fed) appears unlikely to cut interest rates anytime soon. The Fed's stance is expected to remain hawkish, maintaining higher interest rates to manage inflationary pressures.
The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to cut its interest rate by 0.25% to 4.25% on June 6. This rate cut could boost investor interest in risk assets like Bitcoin. Bitfinex's derivatives head, Jag Kooner, told Cointelegraph: "The ECB is expected to cut rates next week to stimulate economic growth. Lower rates typically weaken the euro and increase liquidity, which can boost risk assets, including Bitcoin."
In order to cut interest rates cleanly and efficiently, in addition to other policy measures, reducing the supply of government bonds is probably also an operation that is very worth considering.
