👉 The first interest rate cut is most likely in September or November, provided inflation continues to decline sufficiently.
🔍 Key indicators the Fed is monitoring before making a decision:
1. CPI (Consumer Price Index) – Needs to move closer to the 2% target.
2. PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) – The Fed’s preferred inflation measure.
3. Unemployment rate – An increase may pressure the Fed to ease policy.
4. GDP growth – A slowdown could push the Fed toward rate cuts.
