The former <a href="https://coingape.com/us-fed-rate-cut-on-radar-will-bitcoin-btc-breakout-in-august/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Federal Reserve</a> Vice Chair has hinted that the first US Fed cut will come in September. This is due to the improved macro sentiment in the market. In a recent CNBC interview, Roger Ferguson noted that the cut comes in September before the elections as the market prices in.&nbsp;
Responding to questions on a possible delay, he pointed to an unlikely situation adding a series of very strong reports could change the Fed’s direction although unlikely based on previous data.
“Count me in the camp that September is likely the first… The upcoming Labor data at the end of the week, there’s at least the more inflation report, the date mounting up on balance that they should probably cut. We see inflation itself stable or coming down, good prices which were an important part of this, good prices has been moving in the right direction. We’ve also seen weakness in consumers, consumer sentiment numbers From Michigan were relatively weak…”&nbsp;
Previously the US Fed has gone against market predictions on rate cuts but Armstrong said that this is quite clear because of certain reasons. Firstly, the commentary has been consistent in recent months. Secondly, the economy shows signs of slowing alongside consumer sentiment and inflation numbers.
