The Federal Reserve is divided on potential rate cuts, with some governors suggesting up to three cuts by year-end despite a 2.7% Consumer Price Index (CPI) above the 2% target.
There are concerns of a CPI increase to 4% from tariffs, which could impede rate cuts and economic growth.
Institutional investors are worried about market overvaluation, increasing margin debt, and the lagging effects of rate cuts on the economy.
