Is Fed in Complete Denial of Data Revisions? What Latest Confusion & Dissent Mean for 2025 – Booth

With the Federal Reserve concluding its final policy meeting of 2024, the central bank implemented a third rate cut this year, bringing the total reductions to 100 basis points. Inflation is projected to stay at 2.5% through 2025, while the Fed forecasts only two rate cuts next year, signaling a cautious path forward. Despite this, Chair Jerome Powell described the U.S. economy as “in a good place,” raising questions about potential cracks in the Fed’s narrative.

In an interview with Kitco News, Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO & Chief Strategist at QI Research, examines the Fed’s latest decisions, inflation risks, and labor market challenges. She provides a detailed analysis of the central bank's approach, discusses private sector job losses, and explores whether the Fed’s actions could lead to a policy misstep in 2025. Don’t miss her sharp insights on U.S. debt, quantitative tightening, and how markets might react heading into the new year.
