Rothschild Wealth Management executives: The next Fed rate cut is expected to be in June at the earliest

Bastian Freitag, head of the fixed income department of Rothschild Wealth Management Company in Germany, said that it is expected that the Federal Reserve will maintain its current stance this week, with the earliest window for a rate cut being in June.

Freitag stated in a report that inflation continues to remain above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, and this sideways trend may continue. Punitive tariffs imposed by the U.S. government and those still to be imposed may continue to push up prices.

Freitag said, "At the same time, we have observed a slight increase in survey-based inflation expectations, which leaves less room for the Federal Reserve to cut rates prematurely." He expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates in June, September, and the first quarter of 2026. (FXStreet)
