Will FED Increase Interest Rates in 2023?
At the beginning of 2022, the increasing data on inflation in the USA forced the FED to increase interest rates. Balance sheet contraction and interest rate hikes followed each other. The rate hike, which started with 25 basis points, first reached 50 basis points and then 75 basis points. The increasing hawkishness of the FED has caused market actors to brainstorm on whether the FED will continue to increase interest rates in 2023.
If the fire of rising inflation cannot be extinguished and the ongoing war does not come to an end, it is foreseen that the FED will continue to increase interest rates in 2023. However, the FED will continue to increase front-loaded interest rates in 2022; There are also those who think that by increasing interest rates by 50 or 75 basis points at each meeting, they will raise interest rates to a level that will not be necessary in 2023.
There are also a few factors that weaken the FED’s hand in interest rate hikes. One of them is the global food crisis fueled by the war. In addition, there are concerns that increasing interest rates along with rising inflation may cause the US economy to enter a recession. There is also concern that the FED’s hawkish increase in interest rates will fuel unemployment all over the world under the leadership of the USA.
