BlackRock’s Rieder Calls for 50 Basis Point Rate Cut in September 2025

Rick Rieder, Chief Investment Officer at BlackRock, has proposed a significant rate cut of 50 basis points by the Federal Reserve in September 2025. This recommendation comes as market probability of such a move surges to 90%, driven by factors like weak job creation and rising unemployment. Rieder cites these concerns alongside a stable inflation rate as key drivers for his proposal. His expertise, with over a decade at BlackRock managing global bond strategies and interactions with central banks and investors, has led market participants to closely scrutinize his suggestions about monetary policy.
