(Reuters) – Brokerages, including Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Goldman Sachs, have reiterated their expectation of a quarter-point interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve at the central bank’s policy meeting later on Wednesday.

Some observers are forecasting a “hawkish cut”, while the focus will also be on policymakers’ updated interest rate outlooks and economic forecasts covering the first months of the incoming Trump administration.
