According to WSJ, the Fed will pause after three consecutive cuts, awaiting clear signs of inflation nearing 2% or labor market deterioration.
On January 27, WSJ reported that Federal Reserve officials plan to hold the benchmark interest rate steady for the first time since three consecutive cuts beginning September, as neither inflation has declined toward 2% nor the labor market shown signs of collapse since December. The committee remains in a wait-and-see stance, monitoring economic indicators before considering further policy changes.
