Forward Guidance

NOTE

Unemployment Rate as Dominant Indicator

The primary observation is the rising unemployment rate, which is predicted to reach 4.4% by year-end, higher than the Fed's forecast. The direction of the unemployment rate is heavily influenced by economic growth, currently at 2%, indicating a potential risk for increased unemployment. The unemployment rate is considered the most crucial statistic for setting monetary policy, unlike non-farm payroll data, due to its inclusion in forecasting models. Despite discrepancies between different surveys, the trend in the unemployment rate is a key factor influencing the balance of risks and potential for easing rates in the future.
