[ANZ Bank: The Fed's Rate Cut Pause Won't Last Long] Jin10 News, January 14 – Brian Martin, Head of G3 Economic Research at ANZ Bank, stated that while the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged in January, the notion of a prolonged pause in the rate-cutting cycle lacks reasonable justification. He believes the Fed should resume rate cuts soon, with the committee likely to lower the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points in March and another 25 basis points in June, bringing the target rate to 3.00%-3.25% by mid-year. Martin pointed out that as the impact of previous tariffs driving up prices fades, wage growth slows, and housing inflation cools, U.S. inflation will gradually ease by 2026.
