Odaily reports that Barclays Bank said one of the factors that may keep US interest rates high is US (inflation) policy. At the December meeting, some FOMC participants apparently began to reflect expectations of tariffs in their inflation forecasts. Furthermore, even among those who did not adjust their official forecasts, many now believe that the balance of inflation risks is tilted to the upside. Although Powell did not explicitly answer to what extent the Fed is inclined to view the price level rise due to tariffs, we believe that, given that tariffs are expected to exacerbate inflation in the second half of 2025, particularly against the backdrop of rising inflation rates in recent years, it will be a challenge for the Fed to continue cutting rates. We expect the Fed to pause rate cuts after June next year and resume rate cuts around mid-2026 after the inflationary pressure caused by tariffs dissipates. In our baseline, we expect two 25 basis point rate cuts in 2026, with a terminal rate of 3.25-3.50%. (Gold Ten)
