FED WILL CUT RATES FURTHER IN DECEMBER AND IN 2025, UBS SAYS
The U.S. Federal Reserve will likely cut rates further at its December meeting and will continue its monetary policy easing cycle throughout next year in line with market expectations, according to UBS global wealth team led by Solita Marcelli.
The Fed on Thursday cut interest rates by 25 basis points, lowering its policy rate to 4.50%-4.75% range, amid a slowdown in inflation. The decision came a day after Donald Trump won the U.S presidential election.
The yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year note US10YT=RR fell 2.7 basis points to 4.316%. A closely watched part of the U.S. Treasury yield curve measuring the gap between yields on two- and 10-year Treasury notes US2US10=RR, seen as an indicator of economic expectations, was at a positive 6.8 basis points.
UBS expects the Fed will continue lowering rates toward a neutral policy stance and in-line with the global easing cycle from other central banks despite initial post-election market reaction suggesting slower pace of future cuts because of potential changes to trade, migration and fiscal policy with the new administration. The bank sees 25 basis point cut in December and 100 basis points of cuts in 2025.
"We recommend investors shift excess cash into quality fixed income, especially as the recent increase in yields offers an opportunity to lock in attractive levels," UBS said. "Investors can also consider diversified fixed income strategies as a way of enhancing portfolio income."
