The United States’s future rates operate close to stability on Wednesday (25), amid the continuity of the truce between Israel and Iran and the increase in betting by the Treasury operators, in possible cuts in interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
Investors are aware of the speech of Federal Reserve President Jerome Powell at the Senate Bank Committee. On Tuesday, Powell reinforced the Fed’s commitment to control inflation and indicated that interest rates should remain stable until there is more clarity on the impacts of rates on prices.

The market expectation is that the PCE core has been discharged compared to April.
