The International Monetary Fund believes that interest rates in advanced economies will eventually drop to levels prevailing before the Corona pandemic, reaching near-zero levels.
He added: Although interest rates are currently high as major central banks are fighting inflation when inflation is under control again, advanced economies will likely move to ease monetary policy and return interest rates back to pre-pandemic levels.
China’s consumer price inflation hit an 18-month low, and factory prices fell faster in March as demand remained weak, warranting policymakers to take further steps to support an uneven economic recovery. In contrast to the strong rally in global prices, retail and producer price inflation remained subdued as the consumer and industrial sectors struggled to recover from the pandemic.
The dollar index fell 0.1%, and investors are awaiting US consumer price data, which is scheduled to be released tomorrow, Wednesday, in search of more clarity on the direction of interest rates during the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting in May.
A strong employment report in the United States released on Friday led to bets emerging that the US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next month, with the market expecting a 71.3% increase of 25 basis points, according to CME’s Videowatch service.
