BlockBeats News: On January 14, Brian Martin, head of G3 economy research at ANZ Bank, said that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged in January, but the view that the rate-cutting cycle will remain paused for a long time lacks a solid basis. He believes the Fed should resume rate cuts soon, with the Federal Open Market Committee likely to cut the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points in March and another 25 basis points in June, bringing the target rate down to 3.00%-3.25% by mid-year. Martin noted that U.S. inflation will gradually ease in 2026 as the impact of previous tariffs on prices fades, wage growth slows, and housing inflation cools. (Jinshi)
