It should be good news! US consumer confidence in January has decreased again! After three consecutive rate cuts in Q4 last year, consumer confidence in January has significantly declined and is well below expectations. It seems likely that the January CPI will not rise and may even decrease. The January CPI will be released on February 11, which could be a positive signal. The weak employment situation combined with the lack of CPI rebound or even a decline after rate cuts reduces the Federal Reserve's resistance to further rate cuts. Of course, a rate cut in January is impossible, and the probability of a rate cut in March or April is low, but not entirely out of hope.
