FED
MNI has just published the preview for the March FOMC meeting - emailed to subscribers and available in PDF here:
- MNI expects the FOMC to hike the Funds rate by 25bp to 4.75-5.00% at the March meeting, with markets implying a 60% chance of a quarter-point raise and 40% of a pause.
- This will come alongside a new Dot Plot that raises the 2023 median rate expectation by 25bp to 5.4%, and tweak of the Statement's forward guidance to indicate that the terminal rate is nearing.
- Of the 28 analyst previews of the March FOMC decision whose previews MNI have seen, 23 expect a 25bp hike at the February FOMC. 4 see a pause, and 1 sees a cut.
- Recent banking sector volatility will probably result in a tightening of financial conditions that warrants a lower terminal Fed funds rate than may have been foreseen just a couple of weeks ago.
- That said, Powell’s task in the press conference will be to acknowledge risks stemming from banking sector uncertainty while emphasizing that the Fed’s primary focus is the fight against well-above-target inflation.
