Senator Elizabeth Warren, along with two other Democratic senators, is urging the Fed to implement a 0.75% interest rate cut to protect the U.S. economy from potential recession.

They argue that aggressive cuts are needed to support the labor market and prevent further economic risk.

Meanwhile, BlackRock predicts the Fed's interest rate cuts will be smaller than expected, citing a strong economy and persistent inflation.

While markets anticipate deep cuts, BlackRock argues recession fears are overblown, and a large cut isn't necessary.
