渣打：预计美联储年内维持利率不变，明年二季度真正降息

Odaily Planet Daily News Standard Chartered believes that the Fed is likely to keep interest rates unchanged for the remainder of the year, with real rate cuts possibly commencing in the second quarter of next year. Standard Chartered stated that market expectations for the Fed are too hawkish. According to Standard Chartered's mid-year market outlook report, the US economy has performed better than expected. Meanwhile, a provisional agreement between the US and Iran may have pushed overall inflation to peak in the second quarter. Current conditions are favorable for interest rates in emerging markets such as India. Standard Chartered currently prefers investing through equities and believes India's environment will improve moving forward, leading to more stable conditions.
