Wall Street expects the Fed to end its balance sheet reduction this year, but an emergency stop is unlikely

The Federal Reserve is nearing the end of its balance sheet reduction, but the exact timing depends on the pace of interest rate cuts and market pressures. Policymakers have suggested that U.S. debt holdings might be fully reduced by year-end, though Wall Street doubts a sudden end to quantitative tightening. Weak economic data and liquidity pressures add uncertainty. Bank of America strategists noted that if the Fed aims to stimulate the economy, it might halt balance sheet reduction; if it seeks to normalize policy, reduction could continue. Recent signs of faster-than-expected economic slowdown led to a rise in global bonds, with traders anticipating more aggressive interest rate cuts. Morgan Stanley analysts believe that early end to balance sheet reduction is unlikely due to factors like money market liquidity or a U.S. recession.

Fed Collins: If the data is as expected, it would be appropriate to start easing policy "soon"

Financial report, Fed Collins: If the data is as expected, it would be appropriate to start easing policy "soon". Whoever enters the White House will have absolutely no impact on my assessment of the state of the economy, my outlook for the future, or what I think is the appropriate policy. I expect interest rates to be lower in a few years. We will release a new summary of economic forecasts in September, which will include the outlook of the 19 FOMC members based on the data we have seen so far. It will include our outlook for interest rates at the end of 2024, 2025, and 2026. I do expect that we will see some easing of monetary policy in the next few years. But how much, when, and how fast the adjustment will be will be determined by the data.
