While the risk of recession in the USA increases after the collapse in Bitcoin and global markets, investors expect the FED to hold an emergency meeting and cut interest rates before September.
FED Interest Rate Cut Calls Are Increasing!
At this point, as expectations increased, Wharton Professor Jeremy Siegel, who participated in the CNBC Squawk Box program, called for the FED to cut interest rates by 1.5%.
According to Siegel, 0.75% cut in the FED emergency meeting; In September, another 0.75% cut should be made.
Apart from Siegel, deVere Group CEO Nigel Green also stated in a note sent to clients that the FED should cut interest rates soon rather than waiting for its next meeting in September.
The surprising rise in unemployment in the US on Friday lies behind the downward pressure on stock futures, the dollar and Treasury yields, according to the famous CEO.
DeVere CEO has called for a 25 basis point cut from the Fed, while other analysts are recommending an immediate cut of up to 75 basis points to avoid a recession.
“The FED needs to act now and cut interest rates…otherwise there could be legitimate and far-reaching risks of a hard landing.
“It would be a dereliction of duty for the FED to postpone the interest rate cut until the September FOMC meeting.”

If the economy gets worse, the Fed will fix it.
