[Chief Investment Officer: Whether or Not There’s a Rate Cut This Week, the Fed’s Easing Bias Should Persist] Jin10 News, December 10 – Shannon Saccocia, Chief Investment Officer of the Wealth Management Division at private investment management firm Neuberger Berman, stated in her latest memo: Regardless of whether the Federal Reserve cuts rates this week, interest rates will ultimately decline, driving the U.S. economy to reaccelerate and creating upward potential for risk assets. She pointed out that although market expectations for whether the Federal Reserve will cut rates by 25 basis points on December 10 have fluctuated wildly in recent weeks, the truly critical factor is the Fed's overall easing policy bias—this holds constructive significance for the U.S. economy and risk markets. Saccocia emphasized that while risks remain regarding the timing and magnitude of rate cuts, this does not change the ultimate destination: the federal funds rate will be lower and more accommodative in the second half of next year.
