UBS Wealth Management pushes back Fed rate cut forecast to June from May previously

News

The firm also now expects the Fed to deliver just 75 bps of rate cuts this year, as opposed to the 100 bps in their previous forecast. On the change: “Given the upside surprises to both payrolls and inflation, we now expect the Fed to wait a bit longer before cutting rates, making its first 25 bps cut in June rather than in May”.
