Tailwinds for the Federal Reserve

Several key factors are indicating that the Federal Reserve may need to pause its monetary policy tightening in the upcoming meeting. Important tailwinds have emerged, including robust financial conditions and strong consumer spending, despite increased interest rates. Legislative measures like the CHIPS Act and the Infrastructure Act are also seen as supportive for economic growth, contributing to job creation and manufacturing development.
