Institutional Analysis: The fundamentals of the U.S. economy indicate there is no need to rush to cut interest rates
Russell Investments' North American Chief Investment Strategist, Paul Eitelman, stated that due to the robust U.S. economy, it is unlikely that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates before May or June. "We believe that amidst extreme policy uncertainty faced by households, businesses, investors and the Fed itself, the U.S. economic foundation remains solid." The Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell has clearly indicated that he will wait for more definitive information before cutting rates again,"This sets up a potential rate cut in May or June." Eitelman said macro fundamentals show resilient economic growth and slowing inflation which supports a basic scenario of two to three rate cuts later this year.
