#Morgan Stanley: March rate cut likely#

Morgan Stanley believes that while the recent US nonfarm payrolls report may reduce the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in the near term, the possibility of a rate cut in March remains high due to a more favorable inflation outlook. Morgan Stanley's optimism on the inflation outlook stems from its expectation of continued declines in inflation data, suggesting that the Fed may not need to take overly aggressive rate hikes to control inflation. Nevertheless, the Fed will still need to monitor labor market conditions to ensure the economy does not fall into recession. Therefore, the possibility of a rate cut in March remains, but the ultimate decision rests with the Fed.
