BlackRock: Fed unlikely to cut rates quickly
BlackRock strategists said in a report that the Federal Reserve is less likely to cut interest rates quickly as the economic growth outlook remains stable. We believe that the Federal Reserve has room to cut interest rates to 3.5% or slightly higher by early 2025, they said. BlackRock said the minutes of the Federal Reserves September meeting also indicated that interest rate cuts will be gradual. We expect monetary policy normalization, not monetary policy easing.

Feds Williams said that it is appropriate to shift policy to neutral over time, and the economy is expected to allow the Fed to cut interest rates further. The recent Fed rate cuts should keep the economy strong, and the unemployment rate is expected to be 4.25% this year and remain at that level around 2025. The job market is unlikely to be a driver of inflation in the future. (Jinshi)
