Analysis: If the Federal Reserve slashes interest rates sharply in September, the market may perceive it as political interference
2025-08-22 15:35:51
Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management, said that while the case for easing has strengthened, there is currently little economic justification for a 50 basis point rate cut equivalent to an emergency level. If the Fed chooses to do so, markets could interpret it as politically driven rather than data-driven. This could push up inflation expectations and term premiums, sending long-term yields higher, undermining conditions that have been supporting risky assets. With valuations already high, the risk of a correction in the short term will rise significantly. Markets may welcome a 25 basis point rate cut in September, but anything more than that could backfire.
