🪙 The Fed's balance sheet has shrunk by $43.4 billion in one week!

▪️Collins, Fed Chair:
- I think we should NOT cut interest rates too quickly.

▪️Cook, Fed Chair:
- It makes sense to continue cutting rates to a neutral level.
- But we can consider a PAUSE scenario, it all depends on macro data.

▪️Bowman, Fed Chair:
- The Fed should take a cautious approach to rate cuts.
- Inflation is a concern.

▪️Barkin, Fed Chair:
- The US has become more vulnerable to inflation shocks.
- If inflation remains above our target, this will give grounds to be more cautious in cutting rates.

▪️Goolsbee, Fed Chair:
- It makes sense for the Fed to slow the pace of rate cuts.

❗️Market expectations (#Fed rate):
- December 18: 25 bp cut to 4.25-4.50% (probability = 55.9%)
- January 29, 2025: PAUSE.
- March 19, 2025: PAUSE.
- May 17, 2025: PAUSE.
