Standard Chartered Bank forecasts a 25 basis points interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve at its upcoming meeting, driven by a slowing U.S. job market and challenging global economic conditions. The bank expects further monetary easing by the end of the year, which could enhance liquidity and benefit risk assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The analysis, titled 'How much will the Fed cut?', was released by Standard Chartered’s Wealth Management/Research team. The anticipated rate cuts are seen as a potential catalyst for increased investment in cryptocurrencies, as lower interest rates typically improve market liquidity and investor appetite for riskier assets.
