All options left open, but everything points to imminent rate cuts – Commerzbank

As expected, the Federal Reserve (Fed) left interest rates unchanged yesterday - but at the same time provided a few hints in its statement that a rate cut is imminent. Inflation is now only 'somewhat elevated' rather than 'elevated'. And the FOMC is now wary of the two-sided risks to its dual mandate, Commerzbank’s FX analyst Michael Pfister notes.

Powell shifts focus to the labour market

“Nevertheless, policymakers still want to gain greater confidence that inflation will return to the 2% target. The statement was therefore only a small step towards a turnaround in interest rates; the market was probably hoping for clearer signals and the US Dollar (USD) initially benefited from the statement.”

“This did not last long, however. During the subsequent press conference with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, it became increasingly clear that the FOMC was on the verge of cutting rates for the first time. Although Powell initially tried to keep all options open for September, the hints became clearer as the meeting progressed.”

“Powell has shifted the focus in many of his comments to the labour market. Inflation is no longer seen as the main problem, but the dual mandate really is one again. This is a continuation of what we have seen in recent weeks and increases the importance of tomorrow's US payrolls report.”

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
