Analysis: The Federal Reserve's rate pause is unlikely to last, with a 25 basis point cut possible in March and June
BlockBeats News, January 14, Brian Martin, Head of G3 Economics Research at ANZ, stated that the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates unchanged in January, but there is little reasonable basis for the view that the rate-cutting cycle will be paused for a long time. He believes the Fed should resume rate cuts soon, and the committee is likely to lower the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points in March and another 25 basis points in June, bringing the target rate down to 3.00%-3.25% by mid-year. Martin pointed out that as the impact of previous tariffs on price increases fades, wage growth slows, and housing inflation cools, US inflation will gradually ease by 2026. (Golden Ten Data)
