US Fed 2024 rate cut could prove perfect catalyst for BTC halving
A cut in the U.S. Federal Reserve rate is seen as bullish, as it boosts risk appetite among investors.
Goldman Sachs, the second-largest investment bank in the world, has predicted that the United States Federal Reserve could cut interest rates twice in the next two years, starting as early as the third quarter of 2024.
Interest rates have a strong correlation to investors’ risk appetite. Goldman Sachs predicted the first Fed rate cut by December 2024, but this forecast has been brought forward to Q3 of 2024 due to cooling inflation, Reuters reported on Dec. 11.
The lender expects the two Fed cuts to bring interest rates to 4.875% by the end of 2024, rather than its previous forecast of 5.13%.
