However, challenges remain as price stability has not yet been achieved.\n\nThe primary focus remains on managing inflation, without allowing other factors to cause distraction. Current economic policy and conditions are described as positive.\n\n<h3>Interest Rate Environment<\/h3>\nInterest rates have been at a high level for several years. Effects of tariffs were visible in the June Consumer Price Index (CPI), although other inflation components are decreasing.\n\nThere is an inclination to reduce rates proactively. A forecast of two rate cuts this year is seen as a reasonable expectation.\n\nBased on Daly&#8217;s outlook, we believe the path is set for lower interest rates, making it a crucial time to adjust our positions. The market is already reflecting this, with CME&#8217;s FedWatch Tool showing a greater than 90% probability of a rate cut by the September meeting. Our primary response should be to position for this by going long interest rate futures, such as those tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).\n\nThese comments confirm that the stock market rally has room to grow, powered by proactive easing. Historically, &#8220;insurance&#8221; rate-cutting cycles that begin when the economy is not in a recession, like in 1995, have been followed by significant market gains. We should therefore consider buying call options on major indices like the S&#038;P 500 to benefit from this expected advantage.\n\n<h3>Inflation and Market Volatility<\/h3>\nWhile her focus remains on inflation, the plan to cut rates preemptively is designed to create a soft landing and reduce market panic. This suggests that after an initial spike around the policy announcement, overall market volatility should decline. We see an opportunity in selling VIX call options or shorting VIX futures for the medium term.\n\nThe prospect of two rate cuts this year should also place downward pressure on the US dollar. A weaker dollar is the natural outcome of a central bank lowering borrowing costs relative to its global peers. We should look at buying call options on currency pairs like the EUR\/USD or shorting the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) itself.\n\nHer assessment of the economy being in a &#8220;good place&#8221; is supported by recent data showing a resilient labor market, which added 206,000 jobs in June while the unemployment rate held near 4.1%. At the same time, her concern about price stability is validated by the June Consumer Price Index, which, despite cooling to a 3.0% annual rate, remains above the desired target. This data mix reinforces the logic behind a carefully managed easing cycle rather than an aggressive, emergency response. \n\n<b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\">\u0e2a\u0e23\u0e49\u0e32\u0e07\u0e1a\u0e31\u0e0d\u0e0a\u0e35 VT Markets \u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e04\u0e38\u0e13<\/a>\u00a0\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login\">\u0e40\u0e23\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e17\u0e23\u0e14<\/a>\u00a0\u0e15\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49 <\/b>\n<p>\n\n<p><strong>\u0e40\u0e23\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e0b\u0e37\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e02\u0e32\u0e22\u0e17\u0e31\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35 &#8211; \u0e04\u0e25\u0e34\u0e01<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th\/trade-now\/\">\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e19\u0e35\u0e48<\/a> \u0e40\u0e1e\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e2a\u0e23\u0e49\u0e32\u0e07\u0e1a\u0e31\u0e0d\u0e0a\u0e35\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07 VT Markets <\/strong> <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0e41\u0e19\u0e27\u0e42\u0e19\u0e49\u0e21\u0e40\u0e28\u0e23\u0e29\u0e10\u0e01\u0e34\u0e08\u0e14\u0e35\u0e02\u0e36\u0e49\u0e19 \u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e22\u0e31\u0e07\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e40\u0e2a\u0e16\u0e35\u0e22\u0e23 \u0e23\u0e32\u0e04\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e31\u0e48\u0e07\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e14\u0e39\u0e41\u0e19\u0e27\u0e42\u0e19\u0e49\u0e21\u0e25\u0e14\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e15\u0e23\u0e32\u0e14\u0e2d\u0e01\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e49\u0e22 \u0e42\u0e14\u0e22\u0e04\u0e32\u0e14\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e08\u0e30\u0e21\u0e35\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e25\u0e14 2 \u0e04\u0e23\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e43\u0e19\u0e1b\u0e35\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49 \u0e17\u0e33\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e15\u0e25\u0e32\u0e14\u0e21\u0e35\u0e42\u0e2d\u0e01\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e1a\u0e42\u0e15!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-live-updates"],"acf":{"acf_article_selection_author":null},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21777\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th-asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
