Mixed US data ahead of FOMC meeting: Can we expect first rate cut in September?

US Q2 GDP grew 2.8% exceeding expectations of 2% and far exceeding the previous value; meanwhile, the initial value of Q2 core PCE was 2.9%, exceeding expectations by 2.7%, but slower than the previous value. These data are generally interpreted as the US economy is still showing strong resilience with still sticky inflation. Former Federal Reserve official Jim Bullard said the strong GDP report put an end to speculation about cutting interest rates in July. On July 26, the June PCE data will also be released, which will further clear the fog about the prospects for interest rate cuts. On July 31, the July FOMC interest rate decision will be announced.

🎙️ Discussion:
1. Is the US economy achieving a “soft landing”?
2. As interest rate cuts approach, what potential investment opportunities are you focusing on or laying out?
