ChainCatcher reports that, according to Jinshi, TD Securities has delayed its forecast for the Federal Reserve's next rate cut from March to June. They still expect a total of 75 basis points of cuts this year, bringing the terminal rate down to 3%. The firm anticipates the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points each in June, September, and December. TD Securities' Chief U.S. Macro Strategist Oscar Munoz stated that the expected easing policy is not due to worsening economic conditions, but rather a result of monetary policy "normalization" as inflation gradually returns to target levels.
