The post Hassett Suggests Potential for 50 bps Federal Reserve Rate Cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Kevin Hassett advocates for a potential 50 basis point rate cut. Implications include enhanced liquidity and positive effects on crypto markets. Current futures market sentiment favors a 25 basis point cut. On December 11, Kevin Hassett, Director of the White House National Economic Council, suggested that strong data could justify a 50 basis point Federal Reserve rate cut. This has significant ramifications for macroeconomic liquidity and risk assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, as markets currently anticipate only a 25 basis point reduction. Hassett Advocates for Deeper Rate Cuts Amid Strong Data Kevin Hassett, during a Wall Street Journal CEO Council event, expressed confidence in the potential for more substantial Federal Reserve rate cuts. Hassett asserted that stronger economic data justify more aggressive monetary easing than the 25 basis points widely anticipated by the market. The implications are notable: a shift from a 25 bps rate cut to a potential 50 bps cut could stimulate liquidity flows, directly impacting risk assets. However, current futures market sentiment indicates only an 89% probability for the former scenario. Market reactions are closely monitored, with influential figures like Goldman Sachs CFO Denis Coleman projecting a 25 basis point cut this year, followed by a pause and further reductions in 2026. Neuberger Berman’s CIO noted the favorable conditions for risk assets if the Federal Reserve chooses an easing path. Historical Rate Cut Patterns and Crypto Market Impact Did you know?
