Rick Rieder is BlackRock chief investment officer of global fixed income.

He spoke with CNBC on his thoughts on Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate cuts to come, and why:

  • on inflation, he said the US is “at a place that is much more like 2019, much, much closer to normalcy”

On timing:

  • Said probably not in July - "I think the odds are low. It’s not impossible. You’ve gotten some data that would allow you to do it, I would do it”
  • “I think they’ll set up for a September cut.”
