MNI Fed Review - Nov 2023: Higher Bar To Hike Again

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • November’s FOMC communications kept the next meeting in December ‘live’ for a possible hike, but confirmed that the Committee’s appetite for further raises is diminishing alongside tighter financial conditions.
  • Powell’s press conference leaned slightly dovish but was overall quite balanced in MNI’s view, reiterating the Committee's tightening bias while setting a fairly high bar to an actual hike.
  • Underlining the dovish outcome, Fed implied rates pushed notably lower through the decision and Press conference, with a December hike seen by markets as only a remote possibility.
