about 4 hours ago by Calculated Risk @ Calculated Risk

Most analysts expect there will be no change to the federal funds rate at the meeting this week keeping the target range at 5‑1/4 to 5-1/2 percent.  Fed Chair Powell is expected to maintain a slightly hawkish stance during the press conference, since the recent inflation reports were above expectations.Currently market participants expect the next Fed move to be a 25 bp cut announced at the September FOMC meeting.  The market is almost pricing in a 2nd cut in December.  From BofA: The Fed is less confident about how quickly inflation will slow, but it has not given up on its expectation that it will. We expect the Fed to say it is prepared to keep policy rates where they are for as long as needed to bring inflation down. We also look for the Fed to announce the tapering of balance sheet runoff by cutting the maximum runoff cap on Treasuries in half.Projections will NOT be released at this meeti...
