From Fortune Magazine:

Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, is relatively relaxed about potential rate cuts from the Fed. He doesn’t consider it essential and actually believes it would benefit his institution if rates don’t drop as anticipated.

The Fed’s delay of rate cuts could be good for consumers and the economy. CPI figures show inflation remains high, and the Fed seeks to reintroduce consumers to normal interest rates.

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan says that the U.S. economy might need a soft landing, not a recession, but not everyone agrees. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon believes the Goldilocks scenario might not be a certainty and is cautiously not banking on it.

The longer-term goal of the Fed is to normalize the rate environment, reintroduce consumers to normal rates, and assert control over inflation. Some skeptics predict the chances of a harder recession are higher than anticipated, but Moynihan believes the outlook is rosier.
