To address these concerns, we expect the Fed will want to be the most proactive about bringing rates down to a neutral level. This was evident when it followed up its bumper September cut in November with a further 25bps, although it may yet be constrained by resurgent inflation. There is a strong possibility of stagflation in the US, in which case the Fed might have to prioritise growth. The European Central Bank also has an eye on stickier wage and services inflation, although structural economic weaknesses in the Eurozone, particularly in Germany, make a case for being overweight duration here.
