As always, great economic insight from Associated Builders and Contractors chief economist Anirban Basu. There are still a lot of questions about the stability of the economy and the outlook for inflation and future interest rates. This coupled with the uncertainty surrounding the political landscape and the potential for the expiration of significant tax cuts leads to difficulty in financial projections, investment decisions and tax planning.

The Federal Reserve is willing to cut interest rates before reaching the 2% target. The question then becomes: What conditions must take hold for the Fed to cut interest rates in September? Is it the reaching of a short-term target en route to 2%? Or is it the overall trajectory of the inflation rate? See the Fed Chair’s response.

The Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday that it is holding interest rates steady at 5.25% to 5.5%, their highest level in two decades, as inflation continues to dog the US economy. Though some had hoped the Fed would soon cut interest rates, which are at their highest level since 2007, the annual rate of inflation has stubbornly remained above 3%. The Fed’s target rate is 2%. #usd #fed #interestrates #economy #inflation #news #updates

Decent inflation number at 3.1 percent and no raise in interest rates is welcome news. I expect interest rates to hold until early summer when fed will lower at least a quarter point to fein an improving market before election. You heard it here first.

A factual “pattern recognition” piece by Blackstone highlighting: - inflation is increasingly in the back mirror. POV: All the narrative about rebounding, static, sticky inflation is one based on need to comment as opposed to referring to fact. - shelter cost is a big component of the inflation metric and the Govt data is lagging Blackstone ‘s and the market. POV: fully agreed, all the data is about a slow down in rental growth in the residential sector with many markets actually reporting declining rates The Federal Reserve Board ‘s chairman’s speach at Jacksonhall yesterday brought nothing new. The Fed will hike if needed and will keep rates high as needed. POV: the inflation part is heading to a “back mirror status” and continued rate hikes appear less needed. Whether the Fed needs to do more than another. 25bp appears less likely despite the market’s action this week. #interestrate #inflation
US #inflation is increasingly in the rearview mirror, especially when you adjust for outdated shelter cost data that lags the current market. That’s encouraging news for the Federal Reserve as it works towards its 2% inflation target. 📉

The Federal Reserve opted to maintain interest rates unchanged in its latest decision, indicating a plan for just one rate cut by the end of 2024. This cautious approach reflects their strategy to combat inflation, which showed milder-than-expected readings in May. The Fed had aggressively raised rates until mid-2023 and has since held them steady, aiming to temper economic demand and control price rises.
