Odaily Planet Daily reported that in the article "The Potential Impact of Trump's Policies on the US Economy", China International Capital Corporation (CICC) pointed out: "Under normal assumptions, we expect the Federal Reserve to continue cutting interest rates, but the pace of rate cuts will slow, and the terminal (neutral) interest rate will also be higher. In the extreme scenario, the Federal Reserve's attitude will turn "hawkish" and it will restart rate hikes in 2025, as policymakers are unlikely to tolerate inflation returning to above 5%." The article further stated: "Considering that curbing inflation generally requires the nominal policy rate to be higher than inflation (i.e., the real policy rate to be positive), this means the Federal Reserve may need to raise rates by 75 to 100 basis points in 2025." (Odaily note: The US had repeatedly made small rate hikes during the 1984-1986 rate cut cycle, mainly to address the risks of inflation and economic overheating.)
