Among the biggest things you need to observe whether the Federal Open Market Members will follow their previous forecast of the two decreases this year Jerom Powell To the fact that the White House was agreed to facilitate the monetary policy.
“The main message of the Fed at the June meeting will be that it remains comfortable in standby mode,” said the Bank’s bank economist, Bhava, in the note. BOFA said he expects the Fed to not shrink this year, but will leave open opportunities for one decline. “Investors should focus on the Powell to take over the softening work data, recent benign inflation and the risks of permanent inflation caused by the tariff.”
The “point” network in the speed of the speed of individual members will be the front and the center for investors.
In the latest update in March, the Committee showed that this year the equivalent of a two -year reduction in the item, which corresponds to modern market pricing. However, it was a close bell, and only two participants who changed their approach would knock the average forecast to one cut.

As things go to the meeting, the pricing markets in the next section, which will come in September, which will become an annual anniversary aggressive Reduction of the item per half -K FOMC created against the backdrop of concern in the labor market. By the end of the year, the Committee added two more steps in a quarter and held.
In today’s climate, “Trade tension has decreased slightly, inflation was low, and the rigid data showed only limited signs,” the Goldman Sachs economist David Maxi wrote.
Goldman sees how the Fed adheres to its two -cut forecast, but the firm’s economists said they expected to see only one.
