Fomc ... any predictions boyz?
Im thinking Powell might say our 1st rate cut is Q3
🎰🎰🎰
hawkish fed today i would bet on
market pricing in 3 cuts as of yesterday morning?
all data has been fine, stable jobs, stable wages, persistent inflation (although still low 3s)
have to remember 2% is not really the target, the target is closer to 2.4% in the US which has been our historical average, but the fed is def gonna try to get there
zero reason for fed to cut right now
wouldnt be surprised if rhetoric changes to MAYBE cuts by late q3 or q4, but 3 cuts is doubtful, and nothing in first half.
i think dot plot might change to a couple 25 cent cuts q4 as opposed to 3x 25-50 cent cuts that is priced in
the reaction will be interesting, and ive been clear i think dips are for buying
and even more macro view - PAUSES are historically longterm bullish, fed REVERSALS (defined as cut inside of 6 months of last raise) are historically bearish
