Monetary Policy Insights - The Federal Reserve's September FOMC meeting resulted in a 25 basis point (bp) rate cut, with only the new member Milan voting against it, advocating for a 50 bp cut[6] - The dot plot indicates an increase in expected rate cuts from 4 to 5 times between 2025 and 2027, with 2025 seeing an adjustment from 2 to 3 cuts[8][11] - Economic forecasts show an increase in GDP growth and inflation predictions, while unemployment rates are expected to remain low[7] Market Reactions - Following the FOMC meeting, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped from 4.05% to below 4%, but rebounded to around 4.08% after Powell's press conference[11] - Short-term rates have fully priced in the rate cuts, while long-term rates remain constrained by high inflation and term premiums[11] Future Considerations - The independence of the Federal Reserve may be tested in 2026, particularly with political pressures from the Trump administration and upcoming midterm elections[5][11] - The market's current pricing of rate cuts may be overly optimistic, with potential volatility if inflation rises or employment data improves unexpectedly[16] Investment Strategy - Buying long-term bonds on dips may be a favorable strategy, as the market appears to have adequately priced in long-term risks[17]
