渣打：预计美联储年内维持利率不变，明年二季度真正降息

Theo Odaily Planet Daily, Standard Chartered believes that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged for the rest of this year and will actually begin cutting rates in the second quarter of next year. Standard Chartered stated that market expectations for the Fed are too hawkish. According to the bank's mid-year market outlook report, the U.S. economy has performed better than expected; meanwhile, the provisional agreement between the U.S. and Iran could push headline inflation to peak in the second quarter. The current environment is favorable for interest rates in emerging markets like India. Standard Chartered currently favors equity investments and believes that India's environment will improve and the situation will stabilize in the future.
