The US Federal Reserve is now widely tipped to deliver its first interest rate cut in December, after the latest inflation data dampened expectations of a rate cut in June. Meanwhile, bond traders have now priced in a 50 per cent chance that the Reserve Bank of Australia will increase the cash rate to 4.6 per cent by September. Both central banks are expected to leave interest rates unchanged at their upcoming board meetings. Kapstream Capital portfolio manager Kris Bernie still expects the RBA to reduce the cash rate, although he says this is now likely to be delayed until 2025.
