Quick Glance: Fed rate hikes possibly concluded as labor market further cools
  • Slowing U.S. job growth and cooling wage pressures might provide Federal Reserve policymakers with renewed confidence that the U.S. economy is adapting to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, allowing inflation to ease without requiring additional interest rate increases.

  • Bond yields declined, and traders of contracts linked to the Fed's policy rate now perceive only a 12% probability of a rate hike by January, down from 30% prior to the release of the employment report.

  • The reports on inflation in the upcoming months will be crucial, he stated.

  • Despite the relaxation of financial conditions, the Fed will depend on economic data to determine its course of action, "and the data indicate that we are finished with rate hikes."
