Core Viewpoint - DBS Bank's report indicates a "high possibility" of the Federal Reserve (Fed) cutting interest rates again in December, despite recent balanced communication from the Fed [1] Group 1: Interest Rate Decisions - The Fed is expected to face political pressure and initial employment market signals that may lead to another rate cut in December [1] - Following the rate cut in October, Fed officials have adopted a cautious stance, with hawkish views suggesting that substantial deterioration in the labor market and significant easing of inflation are necessary for further loosening [1][2] - DBS analysts believe the threshold for further easing is relatively low due to political realities and corporate layoffs [1] Group 2: Quantitative Tightening (QT) and Monetary Policy - The Fed has announced it will stop its quantitative tightening (QT) program on December 1, which has been in place for three years [1] - There is broad consensus among Fed officials regarding the end of QT, driven by the need for more bank reserves to maintain stability in the financial system [2] - DBS expects the Fed to continue reducing its holdings of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) while reinvesting the proceeds into U.S. Treasury securities [2] - If rising repo rates do not decline in the coming months, the Fed may begin asset purchases to prevent further declines in reserves, indicating a potential return to quantitative easing (QE) [2]
