It is becoming increasingly popular among investors that during the FOMC meeting on September 18, 2024, representatives of the US Federal Reserve will reduce the base interest rate not by 0.25 percent, but by 0.5.

The chance of such a thing is now estimated at 11 percent. At the same time, yesterday this probability reached almost 23 percent.

Recall that the reduction in the base interest rate makes loans more affordable and activates what is happening in the economy. At the same time, since March 2022, it has either been increased or left at the same level.
