Broadcom (AVGO.O): Expands its collaboration agreement with Google Cloud in the field of network insights.April 22 – According to a Reuters poll of economists, the Federal Reserve will likely wait at least six months before lowering interest rates this year, as the energy shock triggered by war has further exacerbated already high inflation. In the April 17-21 survey, 56 of the 103 economists surveyed predicted that the Feds benchmark interest rate would remain in the 3.50% to 3.75% range until the end of September. In a survey conducted in late March, nearly 70% of economists expected at least one rate cut by then. In an early March survey, most economists expected a rate cut by the end of June. In the latest survey, 71 economists still expect at least one rate cut this year, with the median forecast indicating only one cut, consistent with the Feds dot plot projections released last month. Currently, nearly one-third of economists expect interest rates to remain unchanged this year, almost double the percentage in previous surveys.European Central Bank Chief Economist Lane: Until we know more about how long this war will last, it is difficult to judge whether this is just a temporary phase or a larger shock.A Reuters poll showed that 71 out of 103 economists expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at least once this year.A Reuters poll of 103 economists found that 56 believe the Federal Reserve will keep the federal funds rate in the 3.50%-3.75% range until September (in a late March poll, 56 out of 82 economists predicted at least one rate cut in September).
