Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve has announced a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate to a range of 4% to 4.25%, with potential further cuts expected by the end of the year, leading to discussions on cross-border asset allocation, particularly the comparison of returns between RMB and USD deposits [1][3].
