Recent predictions by economist Kathy Bostjancic from Nationwide suggest a potential 75 basis point cut in Federal Reserve interest rates by year-end, based on weakening labor markets and mild inflation.
Potential Fed Rate Cut
Kathy Bostjancic, Chief Economist at Nationwide, has suggested that current economic conditions may lead to a rate cut, although there is no official confirmation of her statements.

A reduction in interest rates could affect markets by encouraging a shift towards riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. The long-term effects of a dovish monetary policy are seen as potentially positive for the cryptocurrency market.
