Deep dives

Federal Reserve's Easing Strategy

The Federal Reserve is contemplating a shift towards reducing policy restrictiveness as inflation levels begin to normalize. Recent data suggests that inflation has been declining and is becoming more broadly based, particularly in areas like shelter and auto insurance. This environment may prompt the Fed to consider rate cuts, potentially moving towards a policy rate of three and a half to four percent. However, it is expected that the Fed will proceed cautiously, allowing the market time to adjust based on incoming economic data rather than providing explicit guidance on the pace or magnitude of rate cuts.
