Deep dives
Federal Reserve's Possible Actions
Recent economic data has showcased shifts that may influence the Federal Reserve's forthcoming decisions on interest rates. Analysts anticipate less dovish behavior from the Fed in light of positive indicators like personal income and spending figures, suggesting a likelihood of rate cuts in upcoming meetings. Market participants are betting on these cuts, with expectations that the Fed might opt to skip the December meeting after a potential adjustment next week. Notably, core inflation remains a concern, particularly due to persistent housing prices, but a decrease in services inflation is noted as a positive signal for overall price stability.
