Opinion: The Federal Reserve will not be as aggressive in cutting interest rates next year as previously expected
On December 19, Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex, stated, "My personal feeling is that the Federal Reserve is expected to take aggressive interest rate cuts. However, the dot plot shows subsequent rate cuts are lower than anticipated in September. Powell will also reiterate his previous statement that economic growth is stronger than expected. Therefore, through the dot plot and his hints, I believe the conclusion drawn by the market is that the Federal Reserve will not cut rates as aggressively next year as they previously anticipated."
