FOMC

The recent bank failures have changed market thinking about the Federal Reserve's next move.

The markets are looking for a Fed pivot, but central bankers continue to say more hikes are coming and rates will stay higher longer. OANDA's Ed Moya joins us after the meeting to give a comprehensive look at what the Fed signals for the future.

The central bank has raised rates aggressively for nearly a year, but experts believe the hiking cycle is nearly over.

Many believe the Federal Reserve will slow down rate increases beginning in December.. Steve Friedman, senior macroeconomist at MacKay Shields, will join us the day after the meeting to discuss what was done and what he expects in the future.

The day after the FOMC announces its policy decision, Christian Scherrmann, U.S. Economist at DWS Group, will offer his take on the meeting, Fed Chair Powell's press conference and what comes next.

The day after the Federal Open Market Committee's next meeting we will analyze the increase and the signals about what rate hikes may be coming.

The Federal Reserve has started a hiking cycle that's expected to continue with half-point increases in June and July, Marvin Loh, senior macro strategist at State Street Global Markets, will assess the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting and tell what he expects the panel to do in the future.

If the inflation figures begin to move lower, then there is a reasonable chance of working through this cycle of rising rates without experiencing a recession.

The Federal Open Market Committee started its hiking cycle in March and everyone expects another increase when it meets May 3-4. Speculation is the FOMC will lift rates a half-point at that meeting. Steve Skancke, chief economic adviser at Keel Point and former White House and Treasury Department staff member, will discuss the FOMC decision and the panel’s next steps in fighting inflation.

Lael Brainard was confirmed as vice chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Tuesday in a 52-43 Senate vote, the first of four central bank nominees set for consideration by the chamber.
