FOMC meeting, November 6-7, 2024: Fed cut its policy rate by 0.25%, as expected; future rate cut may hinge on economic policies and figures
  • Following the FOMC meeting on November 6-7, 2024, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) unanimously decided to cut the policy rate by 0.25 percent, from 4.75-5.00 percent to 4.50-4.75 percent. The move is aimed at supporting its attempt to achieve maximum employment and long-term inflation target of 2 percent.
  • The Fed holds the view that the US presidential election results have no short-term effects on the monetary policy direction, and there are currently no concerns that inflation will accelerate as a result of the US presidential election results. However, markets increasingly expect the Fed to pause rate cuts in the December 2024 meeting.
  • KResearch views that future rate cuts will primarily depend on economic and inflation data. Close attention must be paid to the US government policies under President Trump as they could potentially drive inflation higher in the coming months.
