The Federal Reserve has announced its decision to leave interest rates unchanged for the remainder of 2023, leaving investors unsure about what may lie ahead for the US economy and markets in 2024. Vanguard Senior Economist Andrew Patterson and Andrew Levin Dartmouth College Professor of Economics join Yahoo Finance Live to weigh in on the profound impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has left on the US economy. “We’re not done here, these core measures of service inflation are high and workers want to catch up with the cost of living, and those things are not over yet,” Levin, a former Federal Reserve Board Special Adviser, notes. “Whether you’re talking about inflation… […]
The Federal Reserve announced they will be holding interest rates steady. Fed Chair Jerome Powell revealed that potential future rate cuts have been discussed. Yardeni Research President Ed Yardeni says the Fed’s decision and messaging were “very rationale” and a “correct assessment.” In his view, the Fed’s monetary policy signals the economy is slowing as expected without entering recession territory, while inflation continues on a moderating trajectory. “All of a sudden the Fed seems to be dovish,” Yardeni exclaims, believing recent commentary points to a pivot to an easing policy stance. With the change in tone, Yardeni now predicts a Fed rate cut is possible as early as March 2024. […]
Coming out of the December FOMC meeting, Federal Reserve officials have opted to hold interest rates where they are for the remainder of 2023 and signaled up to three rate cuts over the next year. Dartmouth College Economics Professor Andrew Levin reacts to the Fed’s rate decision, the direction of inflation, and what this economic environment may mean for US workers. “When we think of a marathon, the last mile is like you’re 95% of the way there. The supercore [inflation] peaked at around 6% on a 12-month basis, right now it’s around 4% but it’s actually been heading up over the last three months,” Levin, a former Federal Reserve […]

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates in 2024. The big question is: When in 2024? J.P. Morgan Asset Management Global Market Strategist Jack Manley doesn’t think it’s going to as early as some investors expect and that “volatility is the name of the game.” Manley thinks that in 2024 there will be room for “opening up the opportunity set a little bit and remembering there are 490+ names in the S&P 500 that haven’t done a whole lot of anything,” referencing the outperformance of the Magnificent Seven tech stocks. Manley says volatility will create a “ripe environment” for active management. Watch the video above to hear how Manley […]

The Federal Reserve will make its final interest rate decision of 2023 on Wednesday. The Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady, so Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s commentary will be what investors will be paying close attention to. Azoria Partners CEO and CIO James Fishback does not see Powell “actually validating any of that dovish-ness that the market is currently professing,” and states plainly “it will be a hawkish meeting tomorrow,” compared to what market expectations are.
