FED Q&A Will Reveal More About Future Projections

Updated Saturday, April 24, 2021

EVENT ENDED

The Federal Reserve increased interest rates four times last year after doing exactly the same the year before and once in March this year. Although, the FED turned the tail for the second time in last month's meeting and cut interest rates again to 2.00%. They delivered another cut in October, but let us know that they they are done with rate cuts for the time being. But coronavirus has turned the table upside-down and now there's uncertainty whether the next move will be another cut after the FED cut rates twice by 50 bps last year. Although, the US economy has rebounded well and is keeping up the pace of the recovery, so the we expect the FED to start giving some hawkish signs in the coming meetings.
