Markets Still Underestimating Potential Tightening by Fed -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-29 11:21

0321 GMT - Markets are likely still underestimating the possibility of additional tightening by the Federal Reserve, says Blerina Uruci, Chief U.S. economist at T. Rowe Price. Since early May, the Iran conflict has persisted longer than expected, oil has moved higher, U.S. growth has remained resilient and signs of inflation from China have strengthened, Uruci says in a note. While the Fed can look through a temporary energy shock, persistent oil and import-price pressures risk affecting inflation expectations, wage dynamics and firms' pricing behavior. Uruci shifts her main view to no change in the fed funds rate over the next 12 months. She assigns a 45% probability to rates remaining unchanged, a 35% probability to hikes by year-end or early 2027, and a 20% probability to cuts. (monica.gupta@wsj.com)
