(Reuters) -A number of main brokerages have tempered their predictions for the way a lot the Federal Reserve will decrease rates of interest in 2025, if in any respect, after a surprisingly robust U.S. employment report on Friday pointed to resilient financial progress.
A minimum of one brokerage, BofA International Analysis, stated in a word it thought the easing cycle was over and it was doubtless the Fed would maintain for an prolonged interval. “However we expect the dangers for the following transfer are skewed towards a hike.”
After slicing 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.
Listed here are the forecasts from main brokerages for 2025 after the roles report:
