Market pricing Tuesday morning indicated about a 67% chance the FOMC will begin cutting in March, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch measure. In fact, traders had further ramped up expectations for 2024 to seven cuts, but brought it back to six following Waller’s remarks.
Along with rate cuts, Waller said he anticipates the Fed this year can start slowing the pace of “quantitative tightening,” or the reduction of the central bank balance sheet by allowing proceeds from maturing bonds to roll off without reinvesting them. The Fed has been allowing up to $95 billion a month roll off and thus far has cut its holdings by about $1.2 trillion.
