The June FOMC meeting is coming! The dot plot has attracted market attention

At 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on June 13, the Federal Reserve announced its interest rate decision and a summary of economic expectations, and Chairman Powell subsequently held a monetary policy press conference. At present, the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged for the seventh consecutive time, but the summary of economic expectations and the interest rate dot plot released this time have attracted much attention. According to the median estimate of a media survey, 41% of economists expect the Federal Reserve to send out two interest rate cut signals in the "dot plot". The market believes that the Federal Reserve may reduce the number of interest rate cuts this year, and the reason for the interest rate cut may be more important than the timing of the interest rate cut.
