Fed's Hesitation on Rate Cuts Risks Economic Stability, Experts Warn Economists are sounding alarms that the Federal Reserve might be on the brink of repeating past mistakes, this time by delaying interest rate cuts, potentially ushering in a recession. After admitting to being tardy in raising rates amidst the inflation surge of 2021 and 2022, the Fed now faces criticism for possibly acting too sluggishly as inflation begins to subside. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, warns of the increasing danger the longer the Fed hesitates to lower rates. With inflation gradually approaching the Fed’s 2% target and economic risks mounting, Zandi advocates for a reduction in rates as early as March or, at the very latest, May. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Huge debt costs mean climate spending could make emerging nations insolvent READ MORE The Commodities Feed: Gold Nears $2,200/oz READ MORE Dollar strengthens after big shift in global rate outlook READ MORE The Great American Housing Squeeze: Construction Costs Out of Reach for Most READ MORE The Scene of THE CRIME READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
