Key point 1: Signals pause in the fight against inflation
The Fed is signaling a "hawkish pause," which suggests that there may be a pause in interest rate hikes at the June Fed meeting. However, they still indicate that the tightening cycle is ongoing.
Key point 2: There's still a long way to go to fight inflation
The current inflation rate is still far above the Fed's long-term target of 2%. The US Consumer Pri...

The US Feds just raised interest rates by 25 bps to make it 5.00 - 5.25%! Here are the key takeaways!
Sectors affected by interest rate increase:
- Real estate: Volume of homes bought and sold has decreased due to higher mortgage interest rates
- Tech industry (mid-sized and smaller companies): higher interest rates make future cash flows less attractive, causing stock prices and valuations to drop
- Manufacturing: output dropped by 0.5% in March, as higher in...

...pls keep sharing
The Federal Reserve is convening once again to discuss interest rates over the next two days. Based on my analysis, I predict that there will be a 0.25% increase, marking the final hike for the year.
Here's why.
The first consideration is the impact that rate hikes have already had on the banking system. Banks have been hit hard by mark-to-market losses on their treasury bill holdings, as rising interest rates have pushed bond prices in the opposi...

Fed officials have hinted that they are likely to raise interest rates by 0.25%, which would bring the federal funds target rate to a range of between 5% and 5.25%. It has not been above 5% since the housing boom in 2006. The Fed’s rate hike would be its tenth since March of 2022. Hopefully, May rate hike to likely be the last of the cycle through the end of the year, essentially leaving the Fed rate at a constant level of just over 5%. This is much expected on an account of...

I hope the Feds can make a wise decision and not bring further damage to the global economy. The fall of First Republic will lead to more downfalls of US banks if they do not stop raising the interest rate. Pausing hike temporarily for this year can help to ease the stress and tension of the markets and bring some relief to banks, companies and investors.
