[Analyst: Fed Statement Leans Dovish, Expected to Cut Rates by 100 Basis Points Next Year] BlockBeats News, December 11, analyst Anna Wong stated: 'My assessment is that the overall tone of the policy statement and updated forecasts leans dovish—although there are some underlying hawkish signals. On the dovish side, the committee significantly raised the growth trajectory, lowered the inflation outlook, and kept the "dot plot" unchanged. The Federal Open Market Committee also announced the commencement of reserve management purchases. On the other hand, a signal in the policy statement indicates that the committee is inclined toward a prolonged pause in rate cuts.' She further noted: 'Although the "dot plot" shows only one rate cut in 2026—while the market expects two—our view is that the Fed will ultimately cut rates by 100 basis points next year. This is because we anticipate weak wage growth and currently see no clear signs of inflation reigniting in the first half of 2026.' (Jin10)
