AFTER ALL THAT, MIGHT IT REALLY BE JUST ONE CUT AND DONE?
Before the Fed's 50 basis point rate cut last month, Yardeni Research (YR) thought that 25bps made more sense given that they viewed the economy as more resilient than supposed.
Now YR thinks the Fed may not cut again in either November or December. Among the many reasons Yardeni Research offers to support this view include:
Last week's NM-PMI and payroll data confirm that the economy didn't need a super-sized rate cut, and therefore, Fed officials should now be having some regrets, while waiting for more data to assess what they should or shouldn't do next.
Another issue YR sees is the backup in bond yields since the Fed started easing on September 18. To them, it shows that the easing was not necessary, while increasing the possibility of stronger economic growth/and or higher inflation.
Meanwhile, rising oil prices, because of mounting Mideast tensions, are reminiscent of a 1970's style stagflationary scenario.
Add in the Hurricane Helene cleanup, along with the dockworkers' recent huge pay increase, and there may be more inflationary pressure on the horizon.
Another concern that YR has is that further easing will increase the probability of a 1990s-style stock market meltup.
And whatever the outcome of the elections, YR says that both presidential candidates are proposing fiscal programs that would further widen the federal budget deficit and might be inflationary.
Overseas influences are also an issue given that the Chinese government is stimulating its economy, putting upward pressure on commodity prices. With this, YR believes further Fed cuts might weaken the dollar, adding to inflationary consequences.
