Fed Rate Cut Hopes Dampened by Persistent Inflation and Strong Job Growth The possibility of the U.S. Federal Reserve reducing interest rates in 2024 could be impacted by recent economic indicators, including robust job growth and less promising inflation data, potentially postponing rate cuts until summer. Despite inflation receding from its peak, there’s a concern that it may have plateaued around 4%, rather than continuing its descent towards the Fed’s target of 2% per annum. This development challenges earlier market expectations of an imminent rate cut, suggesting that the Fed may adopt a cautious approach to monetary policy adjustments until clearer trends emerge, underscoring the delicate balance between stimulating economic growth and controlling inflation. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts World Gold Council: Gold Demand Trends Full Year 2023 READ MORE BRICS Nations' Gold Rush: Safeguarding Economies Against US Recession Fears READ MORE Japan’s GPIF Seeking Info on Illiquid Assets Such as Forests, Gold as Part of Research READ MORE The rising de-dollarization trend is a risk to US stocks, Morgan Stanley wealth CIO says READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
