Julius Baer Sees One Final Fed Rate Hike in December
Dow Jones10-06 17:20
0920 GMT - Julius Baer expects the Federal Reserve to deliver one final rate hike in December, followed by an extended pause, says chief economist David Kohl. The U.S. labor market cooled slightly in September, with overall job growth slowing and fewer than 50% of industries reporting job gains, among other indicators. Julius Baer now sees the December FOMC meeting as the most likely opportunity for the next 25bp rate hike. Financial conditions have tightened since the last FOMC meeting far more because of rising long-term yields and U.S. dollar appreciation than the increase in short-term rates, while the offset from higher equity markets has moderated, he says.
