<p style="text-align: justify">As concerns about economic recession rise in the United States, leaders of major financial institutions are drawing attention to the Fed’s interest rate policy. Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, one of America’s largest banks, emphasized that consumer confidence could be significantly damaged if the Fed does not quickly lower <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">interest rates</a>.</p> 
<h2 id="impact-of-fed-policies-on-consumer-confidence-raises-questions">Impact of Fed Policies on Consumer Confidence Raises Questions</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Last week, the US markets experienced one of the year’s biggest fluctuations. The market volatility indicator, known as VIX, reached record levels, followed by a historic drop in the stock markets over the next four days. As mid-August approaches, investors have become extremely cautious, fearing the economy might enter a recession. At this point, whether the Fed can achieve the targeted soft landing has become the most critical question.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">While the labor market in America continues to send mixed signals, concerns are growing over weakening consumer spending and slowing economic activity. Brian Moynihan indicates that the Fed needs to carefully evaluate this situation. Emphasizing that the economy is slowing down, Moynihan notes that while inflation is decreasing, it is crucial to be very cautious to prevent the economy from entering a recession during this process.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">According to Moynihan, it is vital for the Fed to quickly implement interest rate cuts to prevent the American economy from entering a recession. The consumer price index report for July, to be announced on Wednesday, will be a significant determinant of the Fed’s next move. While the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates in September, debates continue over whether the cut will be 25 basis points or 50 basis points.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="this-week-is-critical-for-the-market">This Week is Critical for the Market</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Chris Larkin, director of trade and investment management at Morgan Stanley’s E-Commerce unit, states that this week’s inflation <a href="https://newslinker.co/how-does-artificial-intelligence-work/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">data</a> is a critical turning point for the market. Larkin says the data investors are waiting for needs to be “cool” enough to enable a rate cut in September, but “hot” enough to allay recession fears.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The July inflation data is expected to show a monthly increase of 0.2% and an annual increase of 3.2%. Although these figures remain at the same level as previous months, they continue to stay well above the Fed’s 2% target.</p>
