I saw an interesting Reuters poll circulating that basically confirms what many traders are already pricing in. Out of 103 economists surveyed, as many as 71 expect at least one rate cut by the Fed during the year. This is a quite significant number, almost 69% of the sample.

This is not just bar talk; it truly reflects how the sentiment among analysts regarding U.S. monetary policy is changing. If the majority of economists foresee a rate cut, it means inflationary pressure might be easing more than it appears. And when the Fed starts moving in this direction, markets react.

It's interesting to note how this poll is circulating precisely when markets are waiting for concrete signals. The rate cut is no longer a remote possibility but now seems a matter of timing. If it materializes, it could open up interesting opportunities on multiple fronts.
