Deep dives
The Federal Reserve's Rate Adjustment Outlook
The Federal Reserve has indicated a potential shift towards cutting interest rates as downside risks to the labor market have increased. In light of these developments, there is speculation around the possibility of a 50-basis point cut in the upcoming September meeting, depending on economic indicators such as payroll and CPI data. The current projections suggest a gradual decline in policy rates over the coming years, with futures markets anticipating rates to drop below 3% by the end of 2025. This cautious approach signifies the Fed's intent to manage economic stability without sending panic signals, aiming for a balanced and measured route to monetary easing.
