Analysis: Fed Rate Cut Pause Won't Be Long-lasting, 25 bps Cuts in March and June Possible
BlockBeats News, January 14th. Brian Martin, Chief Economist of the G3 economies at ANZ Bank, stated that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged in January, but the view that the rate-cutting cycle will be paused for a long time lacks a reasonable basis. He believes that the Fed should quickly resume rate cuts, with the committee likely to cut the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points in March and another 25 basis points in June, bringing the target rate to 3.00%-3.25% by mid-year. Martin pointed out that as the impact of the previous tariffs on prices diminishes, wage growth slows, and housing inflation cools, U.S. inflation will gradually ease in 2026. (FXStreet)
