Thread: Target Rate Hike Probabilities

The next Federal Open Markets Commitee meeting is next week. As of today, the market is predicting a 78% chance of the first rate pause after 10 consecutive FOMC meetings where the Fed Fund rate was raised.

Traders give a 22% chance of another rate hike of 25 basis points. A week ago, before last week's jobs report, a 25 bp rate hike had a 64% chance for the coming meeting.

What economic data has the ability to further affect the rate decision between now and the June 13-14 meeting?

Wednesday 6/7:

U.S. MBA 30-Year Mortgage Rate

U.S. Consumer Credit


Thursday 6/8:

U.S. Initial Jobless Claims


Wall Street Reporter Dion Rabouin explains how all three affect inflation and the Fed's rate decision.

Hopefully the hikes are on ice for a few years. Nice cycle chart of what normally occurs after the hikes end.

A composite of the average Fed Cycle would cause the following ordering/timing of events:
-March = First cut (8 month pause),
-June = Recession starts,
-October = Market bottom,
-Feb 2025 = Earnings bottom
