Analyst: Concerns about the Federal Reserve resuming rate hikes may be premature
On December 19, analyst Jersey stated that some people are worried that the policies of the new U.S. administration might trigger inflation, leading to a rate hike by the Federal Reserve before the end of 2025. However, this may be somewhat premature as implementing new policies takes a long time. Nevertheless, considering that the next step could be a rate hike - something which seemed unlikely four months ago - there is a possibility for yield curves to steepen. However, such actions may not occur until we have more data.
