Fed's Collins: Will not rule out easing policy in December

Odaily Planet Daily Report: Powell will deliver a speech this Friday to discuss interest rates and economic issues. Investors and economists will closely watch for his clues about the Fed's December interest rate decision and the policy outlook for 2025. In his recent remarks, Powell emphasized the Fed's dual mandate - the balanced risk of stabilizing inflation and supporting maximum employment. He described the Fed's path of rate cuts as the "normalization" of policy. The interest rate futures market pricing on Wednesday suggests that the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed's December 17-18 meeting exceeds 80%, while the probability of no rate cut is greater. The policymakers' update to their quarterly economic forecast summary in September showed a median forecast of a 1-percentage-point rate cut in 2024, followed by a 1-percentage-point rate cut in 2025. Officials will update the so-called "dot plot" at the December meeting, giving them an opportunity to signal the policy path for 2025 and beyond. (Gold Ten)

Investors are watching for clues about the Fed's December interest rate decision and next year's policy outlook in Powell's speech on Friday.

Odaily Planet Dai Report: Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that due to the strong US economy, the Federal Reserve does not need to "rush" to lower interest rates, and the Federal Reserve will "carefully observe" to ensure that certain inflation indicators remain within an acceptable range. Powell reiterated that the path of the Federal Reserve's policy interest rate will depend on the upcoming data and the evolution of the economic outlook. He said that the inflation rate is approaching the Federal Reserve's 2% target, but has not yet reached it. The Federal Reserve will closely monitor the core indicators of commodity and service inflation excluding housing, which have been declining over the past two years. "We expect these indicators to continue to fluctuate in the near-term range, and the path to the Federal Reserve's 2% target may sometimes be bumpy."
