Federal Reserve Set To Take Dovish Stances: 25 Basis Point Rate Cut & Balance Sheet Reduction Halt Expected

The Federal Reserve is expected to take a dovish stance on Wednesday, with anticipated action including a 25 basis point interest rate cut and the discontinuation of its balance sheet reduction plan. This move could lead to a decrease in Treasury yields. LHMeyer’s analyst Derek Tang highlighted that the combination of these actions would likely boost market risk appetite. While the final decision on ending balance sheet reduction is still uncertain, recent tightening in financing markets has increased the probability of this change.
