How does Wall Street view Powell's turn? Is it time to discuss a 50 basis point rate cut in September?

Wall Street generally believes that Powell's speech has opened the door for a rate cut in September. The key to the size of the rate cut will be the August non-farm payrolls. If the labor market continues to weaken, the Fed may cut rates by 50 basis points or even 75 basis points.

Powell's "turn" has led the market to expect four interest rate cuts this year, but the Fed has only three meetings left.

The August employment data released on September 6th will serve as a catalyst for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 50 basis points at the next meeting. Powell also mentioned, "the timing and magnitude of the rate cut will depend on future data." The market is closely watching the latest trends in the employment market, as well as the final inflation data before the FOMC meeting on September 11th.
