1. Reuters Survey: The Federal Reserve May Not Lower Rates for at Least Six Months

According to a Reuters survey, due to energy shocks caused by war intensifying inflation, the Federal Reserve will need to wait at least six months before lowering interest rates this year. The survey conducted from April 17 to 21 showed that of 103 economists, 56 predicted the benchmark interest rate would remain between 3.50% and 3.75% until the end of September, while nearly 70% in a late March survey expected at least one rate cut by that time. In the latest survey, 71 economists predicted at least one rate cut this year, with a median estimate of one cut, consistent with the Federal Reserve's dot plot forecast. Nearly one-third of economists expect interest rates to remain unchanged this year, doubling the proportion from the previous survey.   -Original
