MNI Fed Review - Dec 2023: The Dovish Pivot Arrives
MNI Fed Review - Dec 2023: The Dovish Pivot Arrives
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
- Every element of the December FOMC communications was more dovish than expected, spurring one of the biggest post-decision downward rate repricings and US dollar sell-offs in years.
- The forecast rate cuts in the Dot Plot were slightly dovish versus expectations, and the Statement made it surprisingly clear that the Fed is done hiking.
- And all of the peripheral surprises skewed dovish, including a slight pullback in some longer-run rate forecasts, and a very low 2023 inflation estimate.
- But the most remarkably dovish element of all may have been Chair Powell’s press conference, in which he delivered little pushback to market expectations of significant rate cuts next year, citing “great” progress in inflation - and openly discussed the fact that the topic of future easing came up at the FOMC meeting.
- A first cut in March 2024 is now the market’s base case scenario, and multiple analysts who had previously seen the easing cycle beginning later next year have pulled their expectations forward.
