Fed to raise rates 25 bps in March but calls for 50 bps grow louder – Reuters poll By anilpanchal7 Fed SentimentPoll RiskAppetite Inflation
The US Federal Reserve will kick off its tightening cycle in March with a 25-basis-point interest rate rise,” said the latest Reuters poll of economists.
Almost a quarter of those respondents, 20, forecast a 50-basis-point move to 0.50-0.75% following debate in markets over the past week after Fed officials discussed the merits of such a move. Rate futures are pricing in more than a 50% likelihood of a half-point hike. The poll concluded the Fed would start by cutting $60 billion per month from its portfolio with predictions in a $20 billion to $100 billion range, according to the median of 27 responses to an additional question.
