According to BlockBeats, Bank of America predicts that the U.S. economy will avoid recession in 2025 despite market expectations for interest rate cuts. The bank asserts that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to reduce rates this year. Strong consumer spending and rising commodity inflation are cited as indicators of ongoing economic resilience, with June's retail sales data surpassing expectations.
Bank of America cautions that politically motivated rate cuts could destabilize inflation expectations and increase credit risk. Looking ahead, the bank anticipates a slight rise in unemployment claims, stable housing data, and a potential 11% decline in durable goods orders set to be released on Friday.
