A modest U.S. economic growth outlook has barely budged following three interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year, and even with economists now reasonably confident an initial Washington-Beijing trade deal will be signed.
Other major central banks were also forecast to stay on the sidelines in 2020, according to economists in Reuters polls.
