Expectations of Rate Cuts in the New Year

Senior US equity strategist at UBS Global Wealth Management, Nadia Lovell, expects two to three rate cuts in the new year. While the market is currently pricing in over 130 basis points for cuts, Lovell believes the Fed will remain patient until the middle of the year and that inflation will moderate further in the first half of the year. The Fed may utilize the ease in financial conditions and easing inflation to make rate cuts. However, if inflation re-accelerates or stalls, the Fed may hold rates higher for longer.
