Interest rate outlook: March 2024 ‘too optimistic’ for a Fed rate cut: Strategist

According to the CME Fedwatch tool, 30% of interest rate traders are pricing in the Fed’s first rate cut to come in March 2024. Verdence Capital Advisors Chief Investment Officer Megan Horneman joins Yahoo Finance Live to weigh in on a feasible timeline for a rate cut.
Horneman predicts a rate cut in the second half of next year — possibly even as far out as 2025.
Horneman refers to housing, services, and wage inflation as impacting factors that “are still growing on an annual basis well above what the Fed wants.” Horneman plainly points out her concern about rate optimism and insists “some pain in the economy” will be required for the Fed to reach its inflation rate goal and institute rate cuts.
