Description
Will the U.S. Fed announce two rate cuts in 2024? One? Maybe even none?  It's anybody's guess what the world's most influential central bank will do with respect to monetary policy this year, but irrespective of that, investors will continue to park their money somewhere.

Stephen Tong, Senior Institutional Portfolio Manager, Franklin Income Investors, answers these questions and also informs us about the Franklin Income Fund's asset allocation strategy in the current market environment, and how it has remained such an attractive proposition for investors over so many years.
