a pause in rate hikes is a more likely scenario rather than a rate cut.

This is the pause that refreshes. This is not a doomsday scenario.

It seems more and more the temporary pause in spending in March was just a pause.

The consensus appears to be a likely pause in June as the Fed assesses the effects of past rate hikes on consumers and the housing sector.

Holding the rate in December was just a pause.

It doesn't look like a rate cut is in the cards.
