Economist: The Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates at all this year

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin Shi reports, the Federal Reserve paused interest rate cuts at its January meeting, and when or whether it will resume rate cuts remains uncertain, especially as the market waits to see how Trump's second administration's tariffs and immigration policies will develop.

Flack Global Metals economist and research director Daniel Doderer stated, "I think the Federal Reserve is in a very good position to do nothing for the time being. We are transitioning from a balanced labor market to a market that may face supply constraints while demand remains unchanged or even higher, which suggests that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut rates. Therefore, our internal expectation is that the Federal Reserve will not cut rates this year. However, the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting rates is slightly higher compared to the possibility of raising rates."
