#FIL# On September 18th, 2:00 AM Beijing time, the Fed will announce its interest rate decision, followed by a press conference with the chair around 2:30.
• Meeting time: September 16-17 local time (September 17-18 Beijing time).
• Market expectations: a 25 basis point rate cut is mainstream, with a probability of about 90%+, and there is a small probability of a larger cut.
• Note: Whether to cut interest rates and by how much will be subject to the Fed's final statement, and data before the meeting may still change the decision-making path.
