Mohamed El-Erian, a resident journalist for Bloomberg, expressed his concerns about the state of the U.S. economy in a recent interview.
He pointed out that the economic slowdown is faster than most economists expected, and certainly faster than the Federal Reserve’s forecasts. El-Erian stated that it is crucial to examine all available data, which he said shows a clear economic slowdown and loss of momentum. He mentioned that discussions about interest rate cuts should ideally begin as early as next month.
He also noted that the economy has very little left since most personal savings and debt capacity have already been exhausted.

However, he expressed concerns about the disconnect between what he believes the Federal Reserve should do and what it might actually do. He mentioned that while he thinks July is the right time to consider cutting rates, he doubts that the Federal Reserve shares this view, highlighting the significant uncertainty in the market.
