A report from China International Capital Corporation (CICC) indicates that the Federal Reserve is likely to maintain its current interest rates without any hikes or cuts for the remainder of the year. This projection is based on the Fed's recent June meeting, which kept rates unchanged and signaled a more hawkish stance, with a median forecast suggesting one rate hike.
