Fed's Interest Rate Decision: Hawkish Cut or More?

Federal Reserves Interest Rate Decision: A Hawkish Cut LikelyThe Federal Reserves upcoming interest rate decision has experts divided, with some advocating for a cut to boost the job market and others warning against further easing due to inflation concerns. The Feds rate-setting committee, the FOMC, is currently split, leading to the emergence of the term hawkish cut. This phrase describes a situation where the Fed might lower interest rates but simultaneously signal a pause in future cuts. Bill English, a former Fed official, predicts this outcome, suggesting the Fed will make a necessary adjustment and communicate their comfort with the current position. Investors will also be watching for updates to the dot plot, new economic forecasts, and potential changes to the Feds balance sheet plans. Chair Jerome Powell is expected to emphasize a more cautious approach, raising the bar for additional rate cuts.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
