The post Bessent sees ‘substantial disinflation’ ahead as Warsh takes over the Fed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Even with recent inflation news universally bad, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expects price pressures to ease soon, just in time for the new Federal Reserve chair to take over. Speaking Thursday to CNBC, Bessent said the energy-fed inflation surge recently is likely to reverse as the U.S. is “going to keep pumping” oil, easing the supply shock from the Iran war. “I firmly believe that nothing is more transient than a supply shock, and we can, we can look through that, because before the Iranian conflict began, core inflation was coming down,” Bessent told CNBC’s Joe Kernen from the sidelines of President Donald Trump’s summit with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. “So I think core inflation will continue coming down.” That hasn’t been the recent trend, however.

The post Fed: Extended pause before cautious easing – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. UOB’s Senior Economist Alvin Liew revises its Federal Reserve (Fed) outlook following hotter United States (US) inflation data. Liew now expects the Fed to keep policy rates unchanged through 2026, before delivering two rate cuts in 2027, and sees the federal funds target rate ending 2026 at 3.75% and 2027 at 3.25%. Policy on hold as inflation stays high “We now expect an extended period of pause to cover the remainder of 2026 before the Fed resumes easing in 2027 (with two rate cuts in late-2Q27 and late-4Q27). This represents a materially long pause even as we maintain our view of an easing stance for Fed policy, reflecting our expectation that inflation pressures will only begin to taper meaningfully in 1H27.” “Under this revised path, the terminal federal funds target rate is now expected to be 3.75% by end 2026, and then lower to 3.25% by end 2027, which will also be the terminal Fed rat
