Macro Environment: Expectation Differentials Are the Deciding Factor
Market expectations for a rate cut in December are essentially locked in, but the real variable lies in the Fed's guidance on the rate cut path for 2025. This is not just a simple rate cut decision but a watershed that will determine the direction of risk assets for the entire year.
