A General Opinion
The market now focuses on this week’s upcoming inflation indicators, which are expected to significantly influence the Federal Reserve's rate cut decisions. Historically, the initiation of rate cuts without a recession has seen positive market reactions, suggesting potential upside. Some analysts speculate that the traditionally weak September market might defy expectations this year.
