Wall Street analysis:
Although several Fed officials dismissed the possibility of a quick rate cut, money markets and economists held on to bets on easing policy. Morgan Stanley estimates that the central bank will start to cut interest rates significantly starting in June, while Goldman Sachs predicts that the first rate cut will begin around the end of 2024.
“It would be good news if inflation is in line with market consensus, but I don’t think this data will change the tone of Fed officials who are trying to dampen market excitement about interest rate cuts,” said Jane Foley, a strategist at Rabobank. She predicted that central banks will take more action. Tough talk to control the extent of market price declines.
