The US Federal Reserve maintains rates, but begins to prepare the ground for a cut. The price of money continues at 5.25%-5.5%, its highest level in almost 23 years.
Most analysts are inclined to expect quarterly reductions of 0.25 points starting in the second quarter, starting at the May or June meeting. The market awaits the clues given by the president of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, at the press conference called for this Wednesday in Washington. The focus will be on how Powell interprets the latest economic data.
