Ahead of the highly anticipated Consumer Price Index (CPI) report scheduled for release on Wednesday, PNC Financial Services Group Chief Economist Gus Faucher joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss the potential implications of future Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Faucher anticipates a slowdown in the year-over-year CPI report, which he considers "good news from the Fed’s perspective." However, he expects the Federal Reserve to maintain a cautious stance and keep interest rates on hold until it can observe "more definitive proof that inflation is really slowing."
Faucher outlines two critical factors that need to materialize for the Fed to achieve its inflation target: "slower growth in housing costs," which has not yet been reflected in the shelter component of inflation data. And second, weaker wage growth is necessary, as these two elements combined can guide markets "back to that 2% objective."
