Strategy
The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to initiate interest rate cuts in 2024. While rates are anticipated to remain stable in the initial months of the year, there is a higher likelihood of the implementation of monetary easing later in 2024. Investors foresee the Fed cutting interest rates to a range of 3.75-4.00% by the year's end. This anticipated move is expected to support the recovery of stocks and debt markets, with the potential for further upside. Additionally, gold prices are anticipated to rise amid these developments.
