Key quotes
“There is currently priced in a rate cut of around 90 bp. So the Fed needs to deliver big or go home. We think the former. Our forecast is a rate cut of 75 bp.”
“Markets are pricing in a clear risk of the Fed going to 0%. We see a high risk of that scenario unfolding as well as the Fed has clearly said that it prefers to move quickly and proactively in downturns.”
“We still look for higher EUR/USD (target 1.17), lower long bond yields in USD (target 0.30%) and at the very best mediocre risk appetite for equities.”
