"Federal Reserve's Caution: Balancing Inflation and Interest Rates in Today's Economy"

Economists see a reduced 40% chance of a recession in the next year, down from a high of 65% in early 2023, as the economy remains strong with lower inflation and robust consumer spending. Rent prices are starting to rise after months of stability, but the increase is still lower than the overall inflation rate. The Federal Reserve is cautious about rate cuts, with investors predicting a 68% chance of a rate cut by June, as officials emphasize the need for more data to verify progress on inflation before making any moves.

"Experts Predict 50% Chance of Recession in 2024 as Economy Slows: NABE"

Economists from the National Association of Business Economics (NABE) predict a sharp slowdown in the US economy in 2024, with a projected growth rate of 1% between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2024. The US GDP is expected to slow to 1.2% in the fourth quarter of this year, and manufacturing has contracted for the 13th consecutive month. Despite the slowdown, fewer economists see a recession on the horizon, with three in four assigning a probability of 50% or less. Inflation is expected to continue moderating, but it is unlikely to reach the Federal Reserve's 2% target before the end of 2024.
