Persistent inflation will keep the Fed from cutting rates this year – Rabobank
The FOMC matched market expectations, lifting rates by 25 bps to 5.25%-5.50%. Economists at Rabobank analyze the odds of additional rate increases.
Powell keeps his options open
As widely expected, the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate to 5.25-5.50%. The decision was unanimous.
During the press conference, Powell kept his options open for the September meeting and stressed the data-dependence of that decision. This has increased the upside risk to our forecast that the Fed is now done hiking for the year.
However, if core inflation continues to decline, there is no rush for the Fed to hike in September. By November, we expect the economy to have deteriorated, preventing further hikes. At the same time, we expect that persistent inflation will keep the Fed from cutting rates this year.
