降息步伐或将加快！大摩：美联储或“四连降”，累计100点！

Group 1 - Morgan Stanley significantly adjusts its interest rate forecast for the Federal Reserve, expecting a faster pace of rate cuts in response to soft inflation and employment data [1][2] - The new prediction includes four consecutive rate cuts of 25 basis points each in September, October, December, and January, totaling a 100 basis point reduction [1][2] - If this forecast is realized, the target range for the federal funds rate will reach approximately 3.375% by January, aligning with the upper limit of the long-term neutral rate estimated by most Federal Reserve officials [1][2] Group 2 - After the "four consecutive cuts," Morgan Stanley anticipates the Federal Reserve will pause to assess data and its distance from the neutral rate [2] - The firm believes that the ultimate federal funds rate will reach 2.875%, indicating that the current rate is already close to the neutral rate by about 100 basis points [2] - The report suggests that while a 75 basis point cut this year or a one-time 50 basis point cut this month is technically feasible, the downward adjustment will primarily consist of coherent 25 basis point cuts to "more decisively return to neutral" [2]
