updates: The Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, but signals a possible rate cut in September based on economic trends. The decision to hold off on a rate reduction at this meeting was due to the need for more data and gaining confidence in the positive trends. The Fed will be monitoring economic data before the September meeting to determine if a rate reduction is appropriate.

Version 1.48 (2024-07-31 20:03:56.456000)

updates: The US Federal Reserve announced that interest rates will remain unchanged, but hinted at a possible cut in September if inflation continues to dip toward its 2% goal. The decision comes as the Federal Reserve seeks to reduce the inflation rate to around two percent. The committee indicated that inflation is approaching the target of two percent, which may allow for a reduction in interest rates soon, but did not provide a clear indication of the timing. Recent indicators show that economic activity continued to expand at a solid pace, while job gains declined and the unemployment rate rose but remained low compared to historical levels. Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, stated earlier this month that he does not see the US economy facing a recession or major economic turmoil.

Version 1.42 (2024-07-31 19:01:34.523000)

updates: The Federal Reserve maintained its benchmark interest rate on Wednesday, keeping borrowing costs at their highest level in more than two decades despite a prolonged cooldown of inflation. An interest rate cut is widely expected in the coming months. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank may reduce interest rate cuts in September, depending on economic performance over the preceding weeks. The chances of an interest rate cut in September stand at more than 85%. Price increases have slowed significantly from a peak of more than 9%, though inflation remains a percentage point higher than the Fed's target rate of 2%. The labor market has continued to grow but its breakneck pace has cooled. The unemployment rate has ticked up this year from 3.7% to 4.1%. The Fed is guided by a dual mandate to keep inflation under control and the labor market strong. The U.S. economy grew much faster than expected over three months ending in June, accelerating from the previous quarter and defying concerns about a possible slowdown. If the Fed cuts interest rates as the economy is heating up, the central bank risks rekindling rapid price increases.

updates: The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates in the coming months, but not this week. Economists expect the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, offering the central bank time to ensure current trends hold ahead of its next meeting in September. The chances of an interest rate cut at the Fed’s meeting in September stand at more than 85%. Price increases have slowed significantly, though inflation remains higher than the Fed’s target rate. The labor market has cooled, with the unemployment rate ticking up from 3.7% to 4.1%. The Fed is guided by a dual mandate to keep inflation under control and the labor market strong. Robust economic data released last week may complicate the path toward a rate cut. The U.S. economy grew faster than expected in the second quarter, raising concerns about rekindling rapid price increases if the Fed cuts interest rates. The odds of a September interest rate cut fell to about 80% after the economic data came out, but have since risen seven percentage points.

Version 1.33 (2024-07-31 04:03:23.074000)

updates: The US Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates at a two-decade high but could drop hints about a September rate cut. The Fed's key lending rate has been at 5.25-5.50% for the past year. The Fed is not expected to make its first rate cut at the conclusion of the two-day policymakers' meeting on Wednesday. Instead, the Fed's rate-setting committee is likely to revise its statement to hint at a cut in September. Futures traders assign a probability of around 65% that the US central bank will make at least 0.75 percentage-points of cuts this year. The markets overwhelmingly expect the Fed's first move to come in September. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is unlikely to announce an exact date for rate cuts but will acknowledge that inflation is moving in the right direction. Powell will have further opportunities to make the Fed's position clear, including his keynote address in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, next month. If the Fed does move in September, its decision would thrust it into the middle of the 2024 presidential election campaign.

The growing chances of a reduction in US borrowing costs by the Federal Reserve may nudge the ECB to act more rapidly. Rates are not expected to be reduced at the upcoming meeting.

Version 0.75 (2024-05-07 16:53:39.229000)

updates: The European Central Bank is expected to cut interest rates before the US Federal Reserve chief. The ECB is concerned about the slow pace of the European recovery and the risk of deflation, while the Fed is more optimistic about the US economy and is focused on controlling inflation. The eurozone's dependence on the American Federal Reserve for its monetary policy has limited its ability to lower interest rates. Having your own currency provides more flexibility in setting interest rates, while joining the eurozone ties a country to American monetary policy. The prospect of diverging rates is causing tensions inside the ECB. The main fear inside the ECB’s headquarters is that parting ways with the Fed could rekindle inflation by increasing the costs of imports. The euro zone is fairly insulated against this type of inflation and could even benefit from a cheaper currency. A weaker euro also has some benefits for the bloc’s producers. The ECB expects foreign demand for euro zone products to rise by 2.4% this year and 3.1% in 2025. European rate-setters cannot relax entirely as a rise in the dollar makes world trade harder and more expensive. Two further unpleasant surprises could turn the amicable divorce between the ECB and Fed into a messy affair: another surge in energy prices and if the Fed decided it was necessary to raise interest rates. Either of those two scenarios could prompt the ECB to rethink its rate-cutting strategy, causing currency gyrations, unsettling capital markets, and weighing on growth.

updates: The European Central Bank is expected to keep interest rates on hold for a fourth straight meeting. Sticky inflation is expected to prompt eurozone rate-setters to hold borrowing costs steady again Thursday, as they await clearer signs of a sustained easing of consumer prices before beginning to cut. Inflation, which peaked at over 10 percent in late 2022, has been steadily easing, hitting 2.6 percent in February, heading towards the ECB's two-percent target. The outlook is bleak, with the eurozone narrowly dodging a technical recession in the second half of 2023. The Frankfurt-based institution's governing council is widely expected to hold the benchmark deposit rate steady at a record four percent for a fourth straight meeting on Thursday. The meeting will be closely watched for clues on when the ECB will start cutting borrowing costs, with most investors now betting on a first move in June. Analysts believe the drivers of inflation have shifted from energy costs to inflation in the services sector and wage growth. Heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have also added to worries that inflation could rebound. The US Federal Reserve is also struggling with when to begin cutting rates. For the ECB, there is little doubt that its next move will be a cut. While observers are now betting on a first cut in June, they expect the process to move slowly. [7027be87]
