Experts like Dennis Gartman predict Fed rate cuts in response to alarming signs such as a surging Producer Price Index and weakening consumer demand. As the risk of recession grows, caution is advised for stock investors by analysts like Morgan Stanley's LaCamp and Stifel's Barry Bannister.

Nancy Lazar from Piper Sandler forecasts a recession impacting inflation trends. Despite differing views, economists like Mohit Kumar argue against a 50-basis-point cut, citing stock market volatility.
