BlockBeats News, July 21st: U.S. Bank predicts that despite market expectations of a rate cut, the U.S. economy will avoid a recession by 2025, and the Federal Reserve will not cut rates this year.

U.S. Bank warns that a rate cut driven by political motives could disrupt inflation expectations stability and increase credit risk. Looking ahead, the bank expects a slight increase in jobless claims, stable housing data, and a possible 11% decline in durable goods orders to be announced on Friday.
