Deutsche Pares 2024 Cut Forecast From 100bp to 25bp

FED

Deutsche now expects just one Fed rate cut in 2024 (in December) "followed by modest further reductions in 2025" to a "neutral level that is likely just below 4% by the end of 2026." Previously they'd seen a first cut of 25bp in June, with a total of 100bp of 2024 cuts.

  • "Recent developments – namely, upside inflation prints, solid labor market data, and easing financial conditions – have clearly diminished the case for commencing rate cuts...A reduction in July is possible, though it likely requires a string of more favorable inflation prints than we currently forecast."
  • Their trajectory includes 0.3% core PCE prints for both March and April which doesn't meet the 0.2% threshold likely required for the FOMC to gain sufficient confidence to cut in summer.
