As of Sunday night, pricing in the Fed funds futures market pointed to a 95.3% likelihood of a rate cut this week, according to the CME FedWatch tool. However, traders are also betting that the Fed will pause its rate cutting cycle in January.
That could be a welcome move for investors who are still uneasy with the path of inflation.
Logan Moulton, portfolio manager at Intelligent Wealth Solutions, said inflation appears to be “stickier” than Fed officials previously thought and that there are risks to upward pressure on inflation when the Trump administration takes office.
“Heading into 2025, I think they should at least pause,” Moulton said.
