<p>This deterioration in the labor market appears to be coupled with a staggering loss of $6.4 trillion in the global stock market over three weeks. These have triggered a red alert. Wells Fargo analysts state:</p>

 <p><em>“The FOMC needs to quickly return to a ‘neutral’ policy stance, or it risks falling into a vicious cycle of labor market weakness.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This precarious situation pushes experts to <strong>anticipate a significant reduction in interest rates</strong>.</p>

 <li>Wells Fargo expects <strong>a 50 basis points cut</strong> <strong>in September</strong>, followed by another of the same magnitude in November.</li>
 <li>JPMorgan Chase shares Wells Fargo’s view.</li>
 <li>As for Citi, its economists anticipate <strong>a total reduction of 100 basis points by November</strong>, with further <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-at-100000-analysts-shocking-bet-if-the-fed-cuts-rates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cuts</a> until reaching a range of 3 to 3.25% by mid-2025.</li>
