Potential Impact of Hassett's Rate Cut on the Dollar

According to Odaily, Commerzbank's Volkmar Baur stated in a report that if Hassett, a leading candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chair, insists on pushing for interest rate cuts without economic fundamentals supporting such a move, the dollar could face pressure. Hassett recently commented that the Federal Reserve is 'severely lagging' in terms of rate cuts. However, data indicates that the labor market is only cooling slowly, contradicting Hassett's assertion. Baur believes that Hassett is unlikely to abandon his push for rate cuts based on facts, which could potentially impact the dollar.
