Federal Reserve FOMC policy meeting this week – preview

A snippet from BoA on the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday 28 April 2021

  • We see the Fed committed to FAIT and reactive not proactive. 
(ps. ICYMI FAIT is Flexible Average Inflation Targeting)
  • We continue to look for the Fed to taper in early 2022, signalling this well in advance-likely six months-and start hiking rates in 2H 2023. 
  • Once the Fed starts hiking, we expect a pace that is faster than current market pricing with a higher terminal rate.
