Analysts: The Fed may be forced to cut interest rates this month, and the market shift makes a recession more likely
On August 5, analysts said that the Fed may be forced to cut interest rates before the next meeting in September to prevent a feedback loop between the market and the real economy that triggers a recession.
The Bank of Japan raised interest rates earlier, and the US economic data was weaker than expected, triggering the loosening of the huge global imbalances that had accumulated to extreme levels. But the pace of economic deterioration has not suddenly accelerated - last week's employment data is not a definite sign of recession, and the triggering of the "Sam Rule" has only diverted market attention, and the increase in geopolitical tensions has also become a boosting factor.

Traders bet the ECB will follow the Fed in a 50 basis point rate cut
On August 5, money markets increased bets that the Federal Reserve would ease monetary policy by much more than policymakers expected. Soon after, markets also increased bets that the European Central Bank would follow the Fed in cutting interest rates.
Traders now see a 60% chance of a 50 basis point rate cut by the European Central Bank in September, having fully priced in a 50 basis point cut from the Federal Reserve in September. Meanwhile, the probability of a 25 basis point cut by the Bank of England is rising.
These bets are likely to persist, adding to the safe-haven bid for bonds amid a broad market flight from risk assets.
