#REVABinanceTGE This is a market news update summarizing Musalem’s stance on interest rates.
Here’s the key takeaway in simpler terms:
No rush to cut rates: Musalem thinks a rate cut next month is premature.
50 bps cut unlikely: Current conditions don’t support such a big move.
Inflation concerns: Data hints at persistent inflation risk.
Labor market risks: Slowing growth + tariffs could squeeze corporate profits and hurt jobs.
Balanced approach: Policymakers must weigh inflation control against protecting employment.
