[Analyst: Stock Market May Remain Stable Amid Fed Rate Cut Expectations] Analysts state that a Federal Reserve rate cut in September is almost certain, and options traders anticipate the stock market will remain stable ahead of Thursday's CPI data release. The market widely expects a 25-basis-point rate cut due to slowing job growth and the need for economic stimulus. Although U.S. stocks saw a slight decline on Friday, the fear index remains below critical levels. Traders predict the S&P 500 index will fluctuate by approximately 0.7% after the CPI release, which is lower than the average over the past year. However, analysts warn that if inflation data significantly exceeds expectations, the market could face risks.
