Bank of America: The Federal Reserve will cut interest rates twice in 2026, in June and July respectively. 2. Goldman Sachs: Expects the Federal Reserve to implement two rate cuts this year, with the first cut in June. 3. Morgan Stanley: Expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points each in June and September. 4. Barclays: Expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points each in June and December this year. 5.

JPMorgan Chase: No longer expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in 2026; the next action is expected to be a 25 basis point rate hike in the third quarter of 2027. 7. KBC: The next rate cut may not come until March, by 25 basis points. A further 25 basis point cut may be made in the second quarter to reach the neutral interest rate level. 8.

Monday, Omega Energia announced that Actis LLP will acquire 10 percent of its capital stock for about 770 million Brazilian reals ($147 million).


According to a regulatory filing, Tarpon Investimentos, which has a controlling stake in Omega, offered call options to Actis to purchase shares at a price of 13.50 Brazilian reals per share.


Once Actis takes a 10% stake in the company, a new shareholders agreement will go into effect, including the British firm into Omega's controlling group.


Actis and Omega have also entered into an investment agreement that might require Actis to spend around 850 million Brazilian reals in Omega. Actis would acquire up to 16 reais per share of new Omega stock via a capital raise.


Omega said the capital increase might take place between October 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023.


Omega disclosed in the same filing that it had signed a letter of intent for a potential $500 million investment with an unidentified U.S. partner.


This financing would be utilized towards the development or acquisition of renewable energy projects in the United States.
