Organization: The latest Federal Reserve statement and dot plot highlight the volatility of data and the uncertainty faced when restarting the interest rate cut cycle

On March 20th, Ryan Weldon, the portfolio manager of IFM Investment Company, stated that the Federal Reserve's statement and updated dot plot highlighted data volatility and uncertainty faced by the Fed when restarting a rate-cutting cycle. Weldon said: "Although the job market has stabilized and inflation seems to be slowly approaching its target, it will take several months of continuous data for the Fed to convince them to cut policy rates again." He also mentioned that the Fed needs to strike a balance between significantly lowered economic growth expectations and higher inflation expectations for 2025.
