registered shares a Losing last week despite modest gains on Friday distance Hardline Federalist Speaker Choir moist Optimism appeared Through the softer inflation data for the month of October.
The S&P 500 fell 0.7% last week while the Nasdaq Composite fell about 1.6%. Central Bank members confirmed In roughly a dozen speeches over the course of the week, they intend to push ahead with a toughening of the aggressive policy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was roughly flat for the week.
Minutes of the last meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the Federal Reserve committee that votes on monetary policy, likely show officials planning to raise interest rates by half a point at their December meeting.
Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Raphael Bostick was the latest Fed member to flag this possibility, saying in remarks Saturday in Florida that he Comfortable to get away with increments of 75 bp At the next meeting, however, confirmed rates could reach 4.75%-5% before the Fed ends its current tightening cycle.
“If the economy continues as I expect it to, I think 75 to 100 basis points of additional tightening would be warranted,” Bostick said in remarks to the Southern Economic Association in Fort Lauderdale. “Clearly more is needed, and I think this level of policy rate will be sufficient to rein in inflation over a reasonable period of time.” Bostic is not a current voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee.

violent High interest rates shift risks The US economy has entered a recession, with Federal Reserve officials recently acknowledging this risk more openly.
“Federal Reserve Chair Powell recalibrated monetary policy at the November FOMC meeting by adopting a new velocity versus destination model — signaling an intent to reach a higher federal funds rate while doing so at a slower pace,” he said in a recent note. “The determination of central banks to aggressively tighten monetary policy coupled with the delayed effects of monetary policy on the economy increases the potential for excessive tightening.”
Goldman Sachs has It raised its forecast for the Fed’s final interest rate to a range of 5% to 5.25%, with another rise of 25 basis points in May, indicating that the investment bank’s risk to the Fed’s outlook has tilted to the upside.
“Inflation is likely to remain uncomfortably high for a while, and this could put pressure on the FOMC to deliver a longer series of small hikes next year,” said economists led by Jan Hatzios.
Elsewhere on the economic calendar this week, durable goods orders readings and global PMI data will provide investors with the latest snapshots of industrial and manufacturing activity. Also, measures of new home sales and consumer confidence from the closely watched University of Michigan survey are now on tap.
