<p>Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/sp-500-nasdaq-futures-edge-higher-ahead-key-inflation-test-2024-03-12/" target="_blank" aria-label="predicts (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">predicts</a> that the Federal Reserve will implement three rate cuts throughout the year, with the first one expected to occur in June. This forecast aligns with the current market sentiment, as traders perceive a 62% chance of the first rate cut taking place in June, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. However, this percentage has slightly decreased from the previous figure of 71%.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
