Fed seen cutting policy rate by a full percentage point this year

The U.S. economy contracted by an annualized 0.3% last quarter, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis said on Wednesday, as American businesses rushed to buy imported goods ahead of President Donald Trump's barrage of tariffs. Futures contracts that settle to the Fed's policy rate continued to point to a start to Fed rate cuts in June, with a total of four quarter-point reductions likely, bringing the rate to the 3.25%-3.5% range by year-end. Fed policymakers meet next week and are nearly universally expected to keep rates in their current 4.25%-4.5% range.
