Barclays: Federal Reserve May Stand Pat Until End-2027

BlockBeats News, July 9th, according to Barclays' baseline expectations, the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged until the end of 2027. However, Barclays' strategists still believe that the risks are tilted towards rate hikes. The strategists stated that the latest Fed policy meeting minutes highlighted participants' increasing concerns about inflation and the ongoing risk of high inflation. The strategists pointed out: "While participants expect inflation to ease, they believe there is still a risk of persistently high inflation, partly due to strong demand for AI-related investments." At the same time, there are divergent views among participants on the future policy direction. (FXStreet)
