0.75% hike already priced in few weeks ago, will not have effect this time when announced. Think will rally if announce 0.5%

A hike of three-quarters of a percentage point would bring the central bank’s benchmark rate to a level of 3.75%- 4%.“The November decision is a lock. Well, I would be floored if they didn’t go 75 basis points,” said Jonathan Pingle, chief U.S. economist at UBS.The Fed decision will come at 2 p.m. on Wednesday after two days of talks among members of the Federal Open Market Committee.What happens at Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference a half-hour later will be more fraught.The focus will be on whether Powell gives a signal to the market about plans for a smaller rise in its benchmark interest rate in December.The Fed’s “dot plot” projection of interest rates, released in September, already penciled in a slowdown to a half-point rate hike in December, followed by a quarter-point hike early in 2023.The market is expecting signals about a change in policy, and many think Powell will use his press conference to hint that a slower pace of interest-rate rises is indeed coming.A Wall Street Journal story last week reported that some Fed officials are not keen to keep hiking rates by 75 basis  points per meeting. That, alongside San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly’s comment that the Fed needs to start talking about slowing down the pace of hikes, were taken as a sign of a slowdown to come by the stock and bond markets.“No one wants to be late for the pivot party, so the hint was enough,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.Luke Tilley, chief economist at Wilmington Trust, said he thinks Powell will signal a smaller rate hike in December by focusing on some of the good wage-inflation news that was published earlier Friday.There was a clear slowdown in private-sector wage growth, Tilley said.But the problem with Powell signaling he has found an exit ramp from the jumbo rate hikes this year is that his committee members might not be ready to signal a downshift, Pingle of UBS said. He argued that the inflation data writ large in September won’t give Fed officials any confidence that a cooling in price pressures is in the offing.Another worry for Powell is that future data might not cooperate.There are two employment reports and two consumer-price-inflation reports before the next Fed policy meeting on Dec. 13–14.So Powell might have to reverse course.“If you pre-commit and the data slaps you in the head — then you can’t follow through,” said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont Securities.This has been the Fed’s pattern all year, Stanley noted. It was only in March that the Fed thought its terminal rate, or the peak benchmark rate, wouldn’t rise above 3%.While the Fed may want to slow down the pace of rate hikes, it doesn’t want the market to take a downshift in the size of rate rises as a signal that a rate cut is in the offing. But some analysts believe that the first cut in fact will come soon after the Fed reduces the size of its rate rises.In general terms, the Fed wants financial conditions to stay restrictive in order to squeeze the life out of inflation.Pingle said he expects Kansas City Fed President Esther George to formally dissent in favor of a slower pace of rate hikes.There is growing disagreement among economists about the “peak” or “terminal rate” of this hiking cycle. The Fed has penciled in a terminal rate in the range of 4.5%–4.75%. Some economists think the terminal rate could be lower than that. Others think that rates will go above 5%.Those who think the Fed will stop short of 5% tend to talk about a recession, with the fast pace of Fed hikes “breaking something.” Those who see rates above 5% think that inflation will be much more persistent.Ultimately, Amherst Pierpont’s Stanley is of the view that the data aren’t going to be the deciding factor. “The answer to the question of what either forces or allows the Fed to stop is probably not going to come from the data. The answer is going to be that the Fed has a number in mind to pause,” he said.The Fed “is careening toward this moment of truth where it has very tight labor markets and very high inflation, and the Fed is going to come out and say, ‘OK, we’re ready to pause here.’ ““That strikes me that is going to be a very volatile period for the market,” he added.Fed fund futures markets are already volatile, with traders penciling in a terminal rate above 5% two weeks ago and now seeing a 4.85% terminal rate.Over the month of October, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose steadily above 4.2% before softening to 4% in recent days.“When you get close to the end, every move really counts,” Stanley said.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9982537605,"gmtCreate":1667207313907,"gmtModify":1676537877173,"author":{"id":"4087111377660040","authorId":"4087111377660040","name":"LIMCHENGZU","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43e678aa792b38b031003fe4d65fb7d9","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4087111377660040","authorIdStr":"4087111377660040"},"htmlText":"0.75% hike already priced in few weeks ago, will not have effect this time when announced.
