According to Odaily, the Carlyle Group anticipates that the Federal Reserve will implement three rate cuts by the end of this year, followed by a pause to assess the impact. The private equity firm noted signs of a 'vibrant' economy. CEO Schwartz mentioned that monetary policy has already helped curb inflation, and after the expected rate cuts in 2024, the Fed might only need to cut rates once more next year. Schwartz also highlighted that trading activity in the U.S. has begun to improve and is likely to continue increasing unless there is an unexpected market disruption. In the first half of this year, Carlyle's allocation and realization of funds have increased, although these metrics remain well below peak levels.
