The FOMC took a page from what its northern neighbour did last week and delivered a hawkish 25bps cut. Birds of a feather I say, as clearly central banks in this neck of the woods are getting a little more nervous about multiple uncertainties like the tone of data and the risks surrounding the incoming US administration. The effects drove higher market-driven borrowing costs, a stronger dollar and a sharp drop in stocks. CAD, for example, depreciated by over a penny to the USD and stands at 1.4447 on a USDCAD basis (69.2 cents US). ...

We got another 25bp policy rate cut from the Fed, but updated projections and Chair Powell’s press conference confirms that the Fed is going to be much more cautious next year with sticky inflation and President Trump’s policy mix meaning a higher hurdle is required to justify rate cuts in 2025. 25bp from the Fed, but less in 2025 The Federal Reserve has cut rates 25bp, as expected.

The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States. It performs five general functions to promote the effective operation of the U.S. economy and, more generally, the public interest. The Federal Reserve conducts the nation’s monetary policy to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates in the U.S. economy; promotes the stability of the financial system and seeks to minimize and contain systemic risks through active monitoring and engagement in the U.S. and abroad; promotes the ...

The Federal Reserve announced a quarter-point cut to its key interest rate Wednesday, an effort to keep stable what appears to be a steady but cooling economy. It's the central bank’s third rate cut of 2024. The move reduces the Fed's target rate to between 4.25% and 4.5%. In its statement announcing the cut, the Fed now projects just two interest rate cuts for 2025. It stated that the unemployment rate remains low, while the rate of inflation "remains somewhat elevated." The Fed's moves are designed to prevent the economy from ...

In conjunction with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held on December 17–18, 2024, meeting participants submitted their projections of the most likely outcomes for real gross domestic product (GDP) growth, the unemployment rate, and inflation for each year from 2024 to 2027 and over the longer run. Each participant’s projections were based on information available at the time of the meeting, together with her or his assessment of appropriate monetary policy—including a path for the federal funds rate and its longer-run value—and assumptions about other factors likely to affect economic outcomes. The longer-run projections represent each participant’s assessment of the value to which each variable would be expected to converge, over time, under appropriate monetary policy and in the absence of further shocks to the economy. “Appropriate monetary policy” is defined as the future path of policy that each participant deems most likely to foster outcomes for economic activity and inflation that best satisfy his or her individual interpretation of the statutory mandate to promote maximum employment and price stability. post: FOMC MEDIAN FORECAST SHOWS 50 BPS OF RATE CUTS IN 2025 TO 3.9% post: dots spike: 2025 - 3.875%, up 50bps from prior 3.375% 2026 - 3.375%, up 50bps from prior 2.875% 2027 - 3.125% up 25bps from prior 2.875% Longer-run - 3.000%, up 12.5bps from prior 2.875% post:

SriKonomics has repeatedly emphasized that the premature, and sizable, interest rate reductions by the US Federal Reserve in recent months will inevitably lead to an acceleration in inflation. Such a discussion is of more than academic interest. A pickup in inflation would lead to higher yields on long-dated Treasurys and mortgages, and slow economic growth — going against Treasury Secretary-designate Scott Bessent’s objective of achieving 3% economic growth. Higher interest rates would also attract funds to the United States from ...

Federal Reserve officials will lower interest rates this month for a third straight time and pare back the number of rate cuts they anticipate next year, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues are expected to deliver another quarter-point rate cut at their Dec. 17-18 meeting, bringing the central bank’s key benchmark rate down to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. That would mark a full percentage point of reductions since September. Rate cuts are seen slowing next year by more than ...
