The Federal Reserve is "in position"! The global easing curtain is expected to open a new chapter next month.
Last Friday, officials from the three major central banks of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe coincidentally stated that they will enter an interest rate cut cycle in the coming months or continue the previous rate cut pace.

Officials still emphasize the health of the US labor market and economy, but advocate for gradually starting to reduce interest rates as soon as possible.
