US Federal Reserve Update:

During his testimony to Congress, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the risks to the labour market from high borrowing costs and indicated that more evidence of slowing inflation is needed before any interest rate cuts. Investors are expecting rate cuts to begin in September, as the Fed has kept rates high for nearly a year to control inflation. The labour market has shown resilience, but recent slowdowns in job data have pressured the Fed to consider easing its policy.
