    When will the Fed begin cutting interest rates?
    The answer to that question depends on who you ask. Odds provided by
    CME Group show traders are placing the highest chances of a cut in May of next year. Economists at Goldman Sachs agree, expecting the first rate cut will be delivered in Q2 2024. Across the Street, JPMorgan doesn’t see Powell & Co. cutting rates until the second half of 2024. Next door, Morgan Stanley is more optimistic, predicting the first reduction in rates to arrive in Q1. Something most investors can agree on: the Fed will pause at its upcoming meeting on September 20.
