<\/strong>The Federal Reserve could move a<\/strong>head with another interest rate cut later this month<\/strong>, Fed Chair Jay Powell signaled on Tuesday at the National Association for Business Economics annual meeting. He warned that the US labor market is showing further signs of distress, and that \u201cdownside risks to employment have risen,\u201d marking his clearest indication yet that Fed officials see enough evidence to justify another quarter-point reduction in borrowing costs, the Financial Times<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

The remarks solidified market expectations<\/strong>, with investors in federal funds futures now pricing in a nearly 100% chance of a cut at the Fed\u2019s upcoming 28-29 October meeting, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. \u201cA rate cut in October is done,\u201d former Fed economist and MacroPolicy Perspectives founder Julia Coronado told the business information service.. <\/p>\n

The Fed is now prioritizing risks to the job market over inflation.<\/strong> Despite delayed official data from the US government shutdown, private indicators and Fed research show a cooling labor market, as \u201cboth layoffs and hiring remain low,\u201d Powell said. Powell noted few signs of broader or lasting price pressures, adding that long-term inflation expectations remain aligned with the Fed\u2019s 2% goal. \u201cThere really isn\u2019t a risk-free path now\u2026 but now the labor market has demonstrated pretty significant downside risks,\u201d the Wall Street Journal<\/a> quotes him as saying.<\/p>\n

Feeling through the dark:<\/strong> The Fed remains divided, as 19 policymakers are seeing two more rate cuts this year, while nine others see one or fewer cuts as appropriate, Bloomberg wrote. This internal division, coupled with the lack of official economic data, increases the risk of policy mistakes. \u201cIf this goes on for a while... it could become more challenging,\u201d Powell admitted regarding the data blackout.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> The Fed\u2019s rate cut in September<\/a> to 4%-4.25% was its first since last December, prompted by a sharp summer slowdown in hiring. However, the unemployment rate remained relatively low at 4.3% in August. The September jobs report is currently delayed due to the government shutdown, but Consumer Price Index data is still scheduled for release later this month.<\/p>\n

AND- No more shrinking balance sheet?<\/strong> The Fed could also end its three-year quantitative tightening policy in the \u201ccoming months\u201d to keep funding markets liquid, Powell said. However, the balance sheet is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels, with USD 1.1 bn higher liabilities and greater reserve demand, he said, adding the Fed\u2019s pandemic-era quantitative easing \u201ccould have \u2014 and perhaps should have \u2014 stopped\u201d earlier, though it likely wouldn\u2019t have changed the economy\u2019s course.<\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Asian markets are in the green this morning<\/strong>, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei up 0.8%, while Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng and the Shanghai Composite are hovering around the 0.3% mark. Wall Street futures are virtually unchanged amid blockbuster 2Q earnings for Bank of America and Morgan Stanley.<\/p>\n
