The Fed's Sep meeting
21/9/2023 (Thu) 02:00
Previous (Aug): 5.50% Forecast: 5.50%
The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates on hold this week. Policymakers have signalled a pause but they are ready to act again if inflation does not slow enough later on.
The focus will be on whether the central bank is done raising borrowing costs. If so that could put a brake on rising Treasury yields and the US dollar.
Petrol costs drove prices higher in August but core inflation continues to cool. Retail sales grew more than expected last month for the same reason.
Goldman Sachs said the world’s largest economy is likely to avoid a harsh downturn, but warned that inflation will be more persistent than market consensus.
