We're expecting another rate cut from the Fed next week, no matter who wins the US presidential election
By: James Knightley, Padhraic Garvey, Chris Turner, Carsten Brzeski, Jeroen Van
Donald Trump’s victory will ensure a lower tax environment that should boost sentiment and spending in the near term. However, promised tariffs, immigration controls and higher borrowing costs will increasingly become headwinds through his presidential term
Why Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election means fewer Fed rate cuts and more from the ECB than we’d previously expected
Election clarity and a low tax, business friendly environment supports near-term growth, but higher long-term borrowing costs, trade tariff disruption and immigration constraints present headwinds for 2026 with inflation likely to remain more elevated than previously thought
Everything we think could go right or wrong for the global economy over the coming months

The US Fed has cut its policy rate by 25bp. They acknowledge that policy remains restrictive and that further cuts are likely but that the pace of those cuts may slow. They were reluctant to discuss the ‘Trump effect’, but here’s the risk: slightly firmer growth with more inflationary pressures. And that might lead to a less aggressive rate-cut narrative

What surprised James Smith this week was just how unsurprising the market’s reaction was to Donald Trump’s landslide election victory. Markets have made their mind up on what his second term means for 2025 and beyond. But 2024 isn’t done with us just yet. It’s another busy week in markets… scream if you want to go faster

James Smith’s cheerful guide to next week
After elevated inflation prints and mildly hawkish commentary from Fed Chair Powell this week, a set of decent retail sales numbers, but admittedly mixed manufacturing numbers leaves the prospect of a December Fed rate cut firmly in the balance. The jobs report will be key on 6 December and for now we are sticking with the view that a cut is more likely than not
Headline non-farm payrolls were significantly weaker than expected in October. Today’s state data show that this wasn’t entirely due to temporary strike- and hurricane-related factors and that there is a broader cooldown in play. This suggests to us that a December Federal Reserve interest rate cut remains more likely than not
