Analyst Views On Dec FOMC: Eyeing 2 2022 Dots

FED

Apart from Wells Fargo and Danske (who are looking for a smaller taper reduction w purchases ending in April), sell-side consensus is that the FOMC will announce a doubling of the taper pace to $30B at the December meeting, concluding in March.

  • The median of sell-side median expectations sees the “Dot Plot” showing 2 hike dots in 2022, and 3 more in each of 2023 and 2024.
  • There are some outliers there: JPM sees three dots as most likely for 2022; JPM and Credit Suisse see the 2024 dot at 2.625% which is the highest end of dot expectations; the lower end estimate for 2024 is 1.875%, as seen by a few banks.
  • As far as house forecasts are concerned, there are few if any remaining holdouts to seeing a 2022 rate liftoff. The earliest core view for liftoff in the notes we've seen belongs to Barclays (March 2022). The latest is TD (2023).
