Renteverhogingen van de Fed komen eraan, maar niet deze week: CNBC-enquête

Market expectations for the current Federal Reserve meeting heavily favor a continuation of the central bank's pause on interest rates. According to the latest CNBC Fed Survey, an overwhelming 93% of participating forecasters anticipate no change in the benchmark borrowing rate this week. Economists note that while persistent inflation pressures suggest future rate hikes could still occur down the line, economic cooling justifies a temporary hold. Financial markets have largely priced in this anticipated pause, shifting focus entirely toward forward-looking statements from the central bank leadership. Investors are eager to decipher when the Fed might initiate its next pivot or restart tightening cycles. The resulting stability has provided temporary relief to traditional equities and risk assets alike.
