BMO Fixed Income Head Sees ‘99.9%’ Odds of Fed-Induced Recession
It will be nearly impossible for the North American economy to avoid a recession because interest rates will have to rise much higher to quell inflation, according to the head of fixed income at Bank of Montreal’s fund management division. “The likelihood of a recession is 99.9%,” Earl Davis said Wednesday on BNN Bloomberg Television. “Why do I say that? The central bankers actually want a recession.” Davis, who’s chief of fixed income and money markets at BMO Global Asset Management, said a recession could easily drag into 2024. It won’t necessarily be a mild contraction, he said, because unlike past ... (full story)

Recent indicators point to modest growth in spending and production. Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher food and energy prices, and broader price pressures. Russia’s war against Ukraine is causing tremendous human and economic hardship. The war and related events are creating additional upward pressure on inflation and are weighing on global economic activity. The Committee is highly attentive to inflation risks. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. In support of these goals, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 3 to 3-1/4 percent and anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate. In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, as described in the Plans for Reducing the Size of the Federal Reserve’s Balance Sheet that were issued in May. The Committee is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2 percent objective. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals.

In conjunction with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held on September 20–21, 2022, 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 2022 to 2025 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. tweet at 2:00pm: Fed Officials See Fed Funds Rate at a Median of 4.4% at End of 2022 tweet at 2:00pm: [DB] FED MEDIAN FORECAST SHOWS RATES AT 4.6% IN 2023, 3.9% IN 2024 tweet at 2:00pm:
