2024-12-18 2367

The complex economic situation in the United States is influenced by multiple factors that affect the Federal Reserve's policies. The retail sales growth in November exceeded expectations, with strong domestic demand and a rebound in inflation. The Federal Reserve has opened its policy meeting, and the market expects a 25 basis point rate cut on Wednesday. The probability of a rate cut this week is 95%, but only about 16% in January. Barclays expects a pause after this reduction and may reduce it three times next year. Its benchmark forecast is a 25 basis point reduction in March and June, and it also expects inflation to rise in the second half of next year due to the impact of Trump's policies, with two more reductions around mid-2026. Trump's policies have made the work of the Federal Reserve complex, and his tax cuts and other measures may prompt the Fed to adjust its forecasts for economic growth and interest rate cuts. Most analysts expect three interest rate cuts next year, while some believe two may be possible. The US dollar rose on Monday, and US bond yields rose, increasing the opportunity cost of gold and suppressing gold prices. The interweaving of US economic data, inflation, and Trump policies requires the Federal Reserve to comprehensively consider and balance multiple objectives. Its policy direction is full of variables and affects the domestic and international economy, which deserves in-depth attention and research.
