Economic activity based on       nominal GDP growth in 2024 was boosted by 40 basis points to 4.0 percent,       compared to 3.6 percent based on the June meeting projections. Better       growth was paired, unsurprisingly, with a better outlook for the labour       market. The unemployment rate is now seen ending 2024 at just 4.1 percent,       down from the previous 4.5 percent projection, and never deteriorates from       that level throughout the Fed\u2019s forecast horizon into 2026; it stands at       3.8 percent as of the latest payrolls report for August.     <\/p>     <h3>Key changes to the Fed\u2019s economic &amp; rate projections<\/h3>     <div class=\"row mb-4 migrated\">       <div class=\"col-lg-10 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-10 col-xxs-12\">         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/is-soft-landing-on-schedule-en-chart-1.png\" alt=\"Key changes to the Fed\u2019s economic and rate projections\" class=\"img-fluid mb-1-half\" \/>         <p           class=\"sr-only\"           id=\"chart1desc\"         >           Chart showing the evolution of key Federal Reserve economic &#038; rate           projections between the June and September meetings. Economic growth           improves to 4.0% from 3.6% in 2024, while the expected rate of           unemployment fell to 4.1% from 4.5%. The Fed also sees policy rates           remaining higher for longer, ending next year at 5.1%, compared to           4.6% previously.         <\/p>         <ul class=\"rbc-legend rbc-legend inline\">           <li class=\"rbc-legend-item\">             <div class=\"rbc-legend-bar c-blue-tint-2\"><\/div>             Range of projections           <\/li> <li class=\"rbc-legend-item\"> <div class=\"rbc-legend-line rbc-legend-dashed c-dark-blue\"> <div class=\"rbc-legend-square rbc-legend-outline c-dark-blue b-white\" style=\"transform: rotate(45deg);\"><\/div> <\/div> Median projection <\/li>         <\/ul>         <p class=\"disclaimer\">           Source &#8211; RBC Wealth Management, Federal Reserve; range shows central           tendency, which excludes outliers         <\/p>       <\/div>     <\/div>     <p>       Now we can all debate whether those numbers are realistic or a bit too       lofty, we would probably fall in the camp of the latter, but if the Fed is       all in on a soft landing, what\u2019s the deal with the increase in the policy       rate to a full 5.1 percent at the end of next year which would suggest       just one rate cut next year from its current level?     <\/p>     <h2>       This is a story about what happens when rates stop being polite, and start       getting real     <\/h2>     <p>       You would be forgiven if you had assumed Fed policymakers also paired       expectations for a stronger economy and a lower unemployment rate with a       higher inflation forecast, but alas, they did not.     <\/p>     <p>       And that is likely at the heart of the market\u2019s modestly negative reaction       to the latest Fed meeting.     <\/p>     <p>       The Fed actually lowered inflation expectations for this year and left       2024 projections unchanged at 2.5 percent for headline personal       consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation, and 2.6 percent for core (ex.       food &amp; energy) inflation. For a Fed that has been laser focused on       inflation, and has seen notable improvement in recent months, such a       significant increase in prevailing rate levels seen over the forecast       horizon was perhaps a bit of a surprise even if markets have been       repricing the \u201chigher for longer\u201d scenario for a number of months.     <\/p>     <p>       We think the real issue, for the economy and risk assets, is the level of       real rates. As the last chart shows, based on the Fed\u2019s projections, real       rates\u2014which is the fed funds rate minus the headline PCE inflation rate\u2014is       now 50 basis points higher in upcoming years and near some of the highest       levels since 2007. And if inflation slows more than the Fed expects\u2014which       the current Bloomberg consensus survey shows\u2014real rates would only move       higher. Equity valuations are highly sensitive to real rates, as is       economic activity, therefore higher real rates also raise the risks of a       policy mistake by the Fed.     <\/p>     <h3>       Push it to the limit?

The Fed\u2019s       latest forecasts do have an element of both hoping for the best economic       outcomes and planning to implement policy based on the best case scenario.     <\/p>     <p>       While market turbulence has picked up as a result, the Fed is fully in       data-dependent mode, which is to say it has no more idea of what happens       next than anyone else. To wit, current market pricing based on Fed Funds       futures data for one last rate hike this year, as the Fed still expects,       sits squarely and neatly at 50\/50. And where the Fed has rates holding       north of 5.00 percent at the end of next year, the market is looking for       something closer to 4.75 percent.     <\/p>     <p>       All told, our thinking as it relates to the Fed remains broadly unchanged:       Rate hikes are likely over, and the risk bias is still toward multiple       \u201cinsurance\u201d rate cuts next year as economic activity and inflation slows.     <\/p>     <p>       The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield is now approaching our expected next       stopping point of 4.50 percent this week, but could it have scope toward       5.00 percent? That\u2019s not yet our base case, but it seems there\u2019s little to       stand in its way for the time being. Regardless, it remains a yield       smorgasbord for fixed income investors\u2014or at this stage, all investors\u2014and       we continue to recommend locking in yields.     <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fed projections suggest rates have neared cruising altitude.
