Analysts: The interest rate cut in September is almost a certainty, and options traders expect the stock market to operate steadily

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, as the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut in September has almost become a foregone conclusion, options traders generally expect the stock market to operate steadily before the CPI data is released on Thursday. The market's expectation for a rate cut is based on the stagnation of U.S. job growth, indicating that the economy needs stimulus. Friday's weak employment data further reinforced the expectation of a 25 basis point rate cut.

Despite a slight decline in U.S. stocks and a slight increase in the fear index, it remains below the critical level of 20. Options traders expect the S&P 500 index to experience about a 0.7% two-way fluctuation after the CPI is announced on Thursday.
