The Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates by the end of 2024, but the decline will be mild and likely to occur in the second half of the year, with the possibility of one more rate increase in 2023, according to policymakers and markets. The forecast for rate cuts is not as significant as the rate increases seen in previous years, with a projected decline of 1% in the Fed funds rate by the end of 2024. The Fed's own projections indicate short-term rates around 5% at the end of 2024, suggesting a slower trajectory for rate declines compared to market expectations. The Fed has scheduled eight meetings in 2024 to set the Fed funds rate, with the potential for rate cuts starting in June or later. The decision to lower rates may not happen until the summer of 2024, as the Fed has emphasized that it plans to cut rates gradually rather than making immediate cuts. The outlook for rates is based on the expectation that inflation will take more time to reach the Fed's target of 2% and that unemployment will increase slightly. The main risk to the rate outlook is a more severe recession in 2024, but the Fed's current focus is on addressing inflation. Recent data for 2023 has been positive, indicating that the economy may have avoided a recession. Overall, while interest rates are expected to decline in 2024, the decrease will be modest and delayed.
