El-Erian spoke in an interview with Bloomberg (gated) Television on Thursday:

  • “It is problematic in my mind that the market is pricing in so many rate cuts right now”
  • “The market is overdoing it”
  • “There’s this notion of a hard landing policy response to achieve a soft landing, that has got to be reconciled one way or another”
  • “The market’s going to have to adjust at some point”

El-Erian is forecasting 75 basis points of interest rate cuts by the end of this year.
