“We now expect the Fed to begin cutting rates in July (previously in June), with a pause in September, and a total of three 25bp cuts planned in 2024 (previously five). Rates are expected to fall to estimated neutral level of 3% in November 2025.”

Our view of the ECB remains unchanged; a much sharper move from the Fed would be needed.
