The Fed vs Inflation
Fedtopp: Expect us to slow down going forward

Fed chief Neel Kashkari expects the central bank to dial back the pace of its interest rate cuts after last week's downward revision of 0.5 percentage points. He tells CNBC that.

Kashkari assesses that monetary policy is still tightening.

- So I was comfortable taking a bigger first step, but going forward I expect we will probably take smaller steps, unless the data changes significantly, he says.

Earlier on Monday, fellow Fed member Raphael Bostic said he expects the Fed to act aggressively to return to a neutral rate, which is estimated to be around 2.9 percent.

According to CNBC, the market is divided on whether there will be a cut of 0.25 or 0.5 percentage points at the next meeting in November.

SEB traders: The Riksbank lowers by 25 points

An overwhelming majority of SEB's trading floor expects the Riksbank to lower by 25 basis points on Thursday. This is evident from a recent survey from the bank.

According to the survey, moderate market reactions are expected on Thursday, while the bank is flagging the KI barometer that will arrive on the same day.
