Nomura: The Fed's latest forecasts may reflect a slowdown in inflation in the coming quarters.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Nomura Capital Management's baseline scenario before mid-November was that the Federal Reserve would not make any interest rate adjustments in December. However, Chief Investment Officer Matthew Pallet stated in a memo that the latest data points to slowing inflation and signs of a weak labor market, making another rate cut possible. He said that new economic forecasts should reflect a moderation in inflation over the next few quarters, opening the door to another rate cut. Pallet stated, "While our view on recent Fed decisions has changed, it is clear that the current committee is more divided on how to handle the path of monetary policy than he has in a long time."
