Get ready for rate cuts: The era of elevated interest rates is near its end, and the predominant economic risk is no longer inflation.
axios.com/2024/08/23/fed-rate-cuts-labor-market
Quick Glance: Fed Chair Signals Upcoming Interest Rate Cuts
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced that the Fed is prepared to start reducing interest rates as inflation is largely under control and the job market is cooling. Although he did not specify timing, a modest quarter-point cut is anticipated at the mid-September meeting. Powell emphasized that future rate adjustments will depend on incoming data.
- Inflation has dropped to 2.5%, significantly lower than its peak of 7.1% two years ago and near the Fed's 2% target. Powell expressed confidence in the sustainable path back to 2% inflation, suggesting that rate cuts could help maintain economic balance without triggering a recession.
- Economists generally expect the Fed to cut rates by a quarter-point at its remaining meetings this year, with some traders predicting a potential half-point cut. Powell noted that a rate cut before the September elections might stir political controversy, but reiterated that decisions will be based solely on economic performance.
- Powell highlighted the Fed's success in combating high inflation without causing a recession. He and other economists acknowledged that recovery from pandemic disruptions and consumer expectations have played critical roles in stabilizing inflation. Meanwhile, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey expressed cautious optimism about declining inflation in the UK, though he warned that the challenge is not yet over.

Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda warns global markets are ‘unstable’: No change to central bank’s basic stance on monetary easing, Ueda tells parliament
ft.com/content/b168bb8d-227d-479a-81a4-93d07d6bf4f1
Quick Glance: Bank of Japan Governor Highlights Market Instability
- Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda cautioned that global markets are unstable while reaffirming his commitment to raising interest rates if Japan's inflation and economic growth remain on track. His remarks followed a period of significant market volatility, with the yen dropping to a historic low before surging over 10 percent.
- Ueda pointed out that recent volatility was largely driven by concerns about the US economy, stressing that both domestic and international markets remain unstable. The central bank's fundamental stance is unchanged, indicating a willingness to adjust monetary policy if economic and price developments align with forecasts.
- The July decision to raise the short-term policy rate by 0.15 percentage points to 0.25 percent was defended by Ueda as a reaffirmation of the positive economic outlook. He acknowledged that while Japan's short-term rates are still low, there is a push for normalization, and uncertainty about the ultimate interest rate level persists.
- Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki noted that the government has not officially declared an end to deflation, despite economists predicting modest rate increases by the BoJ in 2024. The July rate hike surprised many market participants and led to a significant rise in the yen, amid ongoing concerns about a potential US recession.
