Fed Signals Cautious Approach to Rate Cuts Amid Inflation Concerns
TL;DR Summary
Traders are now pricing in a 66.5% probability of a 25 basis point cut to the federal funds rate in December, following an October PCE inflation reading that met expectations. This marks an increase from a 59.4% probability earlier in the week, indicating a shift away from the idea of a pause by the Federal Reserve. The CME FedWatch Tool reflects this sentiment, despite a previous error in reporting a potential rate hike.
