The U.S. Federal Reserve, led by Chair Jerome Powell, is unlikely to reduce interest rates this month as inflation stubbornly remains at 2.7% according to December data.

Current Inflation Scenario

According to Barchart, there is a 5% chance the Fed will cut rates this month, following the December reduction of 25 basis points, marking the third consecutive cut.

Comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell

Jerome Powell indicated caution towards further rate cuts following the recent cuts and improvements in inflation. He emphasized caution on future moves.

"I think we’re in a good place, but I think from here it’s a new phase, and we’re going to be cautious about further cuts."Jerome Powell

Impact of Trump's Policies on Fed Decisions

Powell highlighted potential economic changes related to Trump’s policies, which could lead to higher inflation and rate adjustments.

The tension surrounding political changes and future Fed actions underscores the need for careful monitoring of the economic landscape.
