  • US Inflation Gives Fed Green Light for December, Yellow for 2025

    From bnnbloomberg.ca

    Fresh inflation figures are likely to make the Federal Reserve more cautious about the pace of interest-rate cuts — but not quite yet. Investors still widely expect the US central bank to cut borrowing costs by a quarter percentage point next week after a new report showed inflation rose in November in line with expectations. But persistent price pressures have also underscored concerns that progress toward the US central bank’s 2% target may be stalling. Those concerns could prompt officials to rein in the number of rate cuts they anticipate in 2025 as they wait for more confirmation that inflation is on track ... (full story)

Fed shouldn't cut rates next week and perhaps they won't. Action in the debt market is very clear on this. Fed should not cut rates and should take the inflation data for what it's saying. Data suggests the progress on inflation is not only stalling, but we have a reason to believe that inflation actually started going the wrong way. Fed should raise the inflation forecast next week, not cut rates and remain on standby to actually start hiking rates again. Cutting rates next week will prove to be a mistake.
As soon as the Trump administration is in office, rate cuts will be the order of the day, regardless of inflation's direction. It will indeed be a mistake to make cuts, but politics will be front and center for the next four years, so Fed rate policy will be by fiat, not thought-out monetary logic.
I hope I'm wrong.

there is no evidence to support your claim, President Trump respected the Fed in his first term. Your assertion sounds like regurgitated anti trump rhetoric that the media shamelessly continues to push. The overwhelming evidence, so far, is "relief" that the Democratic party of the US will not be in charge for at least the next four years and hopefully 12. Vice President elect JD Vance seems to be a more than competent successor.

When I read his initial post I don't think he was alluding too the politics of the administration but more of the policy change that's going to happen but I could be wrong. The fact you got some regurgitated anti Trump from a very vague statement is interesting. Trump can't do anything to the FEDS and I don't think anyone is worried about that if he wants change Powell chair term ends May 2026 so he can do as he pleases.

Also can we keep politics to the minimum on the forum - it really has no place since everyone has a opinion and everyone gets so divisive and aggressive these days we can't even have a decent discussion at times.
The solution is (x).
25 bps is a done deal next week, the market is looking forward to SEP & Press Conference....

that was just directed to MBEFUS not the original post but respectfully, my apologies, not my intent but the blatant hypocrisy against the President elect needs to stop, sitting idlily by has contributed to the intensity and the voting public has spoken. The others side of the equation are the ones that need to be called out.
