On balance it reads this as a 64% conviction call that rewards patience while continued disinflation plays out.
Takes the most measured view of the six. It weights sticky services inflation could delay cuts and a resilient economy reduces urgency heavily, wanting confirmation from continued disinflation before giving full credit to cooling inflation prints support easing.
