US Fed rate cut likely to be non-event for IT sector
==========

The US Federal Reserve, led by Chair Jerome Powell, is expected to announce a rate cut on September 18, 2024, after a two-day FOMC meeting. JM Financial predicts a benign impact on corporate balance sheets, with potential benefits for the IT services sector including lower equity costs, a revival in discretionary demand, and decreased interest burdens. However, the report notes that previous rate-cut cycles coincided with IT services export slowdowns, and current economic conditions differ, suggesting a lower probability of recession. The report emphasizes that while improvements are expected, they will be gradual.
