(Reuters) – A number of main brokerages have tempered their predictions for a way a lot the Federal Reserve will decrease rates of interest in 2025, if in any respect, after a surprisingly sturdy U.S. employment report on Friday pointed to resilient financial development.
At the very least one agency, BofA International analysis, stated in a notice it thought the easing cycle was over and it was seemingly the Fed would maintain for an prolonged interval. “However we expect the dangers for the following transfer are skewed towards a hike.”
After reducing charges by 1 / 4 of a proportion level on the Dec. 17-18 assembly, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated policymakers may now be “cautious” about additional reductions.
