Fed Cutting Rates In September Would Be A 'Policy Mistake', Warns Bank Of America: Report


(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

Bank of America reportedly warned on Wednesday that if the Federal Reserve rushes to cut interest rates in September, it could be a“policy mistake,” based on the current macroeconomic data.
