Currently, it is expected that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by about 50-75 basis points in 2025.Cheng Shi indicated that the re-inflation risks faced by the U.S. can be viewed from two dimensions: first, the current U.S. inflation is in a zone where it is easy to rise but difficult to fall, and there is very little room for further decline, making it quite challenging. In fact, there are many potential factors that could drive U.S. inflation upward. Second, the current market has formed an upward expectation for U.S. inflation, and inflation expectations tend to be self-fulfilling, which will create substantial upward pressure on inflation.
