While the Federal Reserve is expected to begin cutting interest rates, which it has paused since January, with the aim of stimulating the long-awaited rise in Bitcoin prices ($BTC ) and alternative cryptocurrencies, overshadowed by Israeli-Iranian tensions, the good news of a rate cut came from Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle Bowman.

Speaking at a meeting in Prague, Czech Republic, Michelle Bowman said that the time to cut interest rates is approaching.

This represents a significant change for Bowman, who has emerged as one of the more hawkish members and has been skeptical about rate cuts in recent months.

But Bowman has now made an unexpected change by saying: "It’s time to consider adjusting the interest rate."

Michelle Bowman noted that inflation has slowed in recent months, and she stated that she would support a rate cut in July if the slowdown in inflation continues.

Recent economic data indicate that tariffs and other policies have no clear and tangible impact on inflation.

At this stage, the impact of the trade war on inflation may be delayed or less than expected.

"So, if this downward trend continues, I support a rate cut next month. In the meantime, I will continue to carefully monitor economic conditions as management, economy, and financial markets evolve."

Bowman’s comments reflect those of her colleague Christopher Waller, who stated to CNBC on Friday that he believes the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates in July.

U.S. President Donald Trump has also pressured the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates as a way to provide the funds necessary to finance the country’s growing national debt. However, the Federal Reserve kept the interest rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.5% at its meeting last week.

While Trump believes that the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates by at least 2%, Bowman did not specify how much of a cut is needed.

The next Federal Reserve meeting is scheduled for July 29 and 30. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, investors expect a 22.7% probability of a rate cut in July, anticipating stable prices. However, the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September is about 78.7%.
