Factbox-Brokerages retain expectations of 25-bps rate cut from US Fed in December

by December 6, 2024
written by December 6, 2024

(Reuters) – Brokerages including Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) are reiterating their expectation of a 25-basis-point interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in December, following the nonfarm payrolls data.

Data showed nonfarm payrolls increased by 227,000 jobs last month after rising an upwardly revised 36,000 in October. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls accelerating by 200,000 jobs last month following a previously reported 12,000 rise in October.

U.S. job growth surged in November after being severely constrained by hurricanes and strikes, but a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.2% pointed to an easing labor market that should allow the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again this month.

The Fed’s next monetary policy meeting is due on December 17-18.

Here are the forecasts from major brokerages after the NFP data:
