It\u2019s sandwiched between the June       meeting, which features one of the quarterly updates to the Fed\u2019s economic       and rate projections, and the August Jackson Hole Economic Symposium,       which the Fed has tended to use to deliver new initiatives, policy       directions, or messages to the market.     <\/p>     <p>       This month\u2019s meeting was no different. The 25 basis points (bps) rate       hike, to a 5.25 percent\u20135.50 percent target range, was expected by just       about everyone. There were barely any tweaks to the official policy       statement. And Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s press conference? He took great       pains to say absolutely nothing new while keeping all options going       forward on the table, before making a notably brisk exit stage left.     <\/p>     <p>       When the Fed kicked off this rate hike cycle in March 2022 it was also       with a 25 bps move amid an outlook for gradual rate hikes. At that time,       policymakers projected rates would rise to just 2.75 percent by the end of       2023, just half of where they are now given what has transpired since.     <\/p>     <h3>How we got here<\/h3>     <h4>The evolution of the Fed\u2019s rate hike cycle<\/h4>     <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-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/fed-rate-whimper-en-chart-1.png\" alt=\"The evolution of the Fed\u2019s rate hike cycle\" class=\"img-fluid mb-1-half\" \/>         <p           class=\"sr-only\"           id=\"chart1desc\"         >           Chart showing how the pace of rate hikes has evolved since January           2022, from 25 basis point increments to as high as 75 basis points,           and back.

But we thought       that was always going to be the case.     <\/p>     <p>       While another rate hike remains somewhere on the table\u2014traders currently       project just a 25 percent chance of another move in either September or       November even after the events of this week\u2014we maintain our view that the       rate hike cycle is effectively over. Why?     <\/p>     <h2>Economic nirvana?<\/h2>     <p>       Late last year, Powell stated that while an economic soft landing was       \u201cstill possible,\u201d the path had \u201cnarrowed.\u201d Now it looks like the Fed could       land a 747 on it.     <\/p>     <p>       If there was one notable takeaway from this week\u2019s meeting, it was that       the Fed staff is no longer modeling a recession this year. And we think       it\u2019s easy to see why.     <\/p>     <p>       The first estimate of Q2 Gross Domestic Product growth released this week       after the Fed meeting handily outpaced expectations, rising 2.4 percent on       an annualized basis against consensus survey expectations of 1.8 percent.       While at first glance that may appear at odds with the idea that the rate       hike cycle is over, prices rose just 2.2 percent in Q2, well below the 3.0       percent consensus expectation. Growth without inflation\u2014surely a welcomed       development.     <\/p>     <p>       On top of that, the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Survey this week       showed a similar dynamic\u2014consumer confidence rose to a two-year high while       consumer inflation expectations fell to the lowest level since November       2020.     <\/p>     <p>       Of course, given this kind of economic backdrop where consumers remain       remarkably resilient, and perhaps more confident as the scourge of       inflation fades, there will likely be an underlying risk the Fed will       choose to abort the landing and proceed with further rate hikes before       trying to land this thing again. But, we think downside risks for the       economy will outweigh upside risks over the back half of the year as the       cumulative impact of policy tightening on economic activity has yet to       fully bite.     <\/p>     <p>       Plus, a wide swath of business surveys shows significant disinflationary       pressures still in the pipeline, supporting our view that the bar for       further hikes will be quite high, though truly dependent on the next two       months of consumer price index and labor market data.     <\/p>     <h2>Investing nirvana?<\/h2>     <p>       Another rate hike paired with fading economic risks continues to be a boon       for fixed income investors.     <\/p>     <p>       As the second chart shows, short-term yields\u2014which are most sensitive to       the Fed\u2019s overnight policy rate\u2014in most major fixed income sectors are       unsurprisingly at or near the loftiest levels on offer in nearly 20 years       with the Fed\u2019s policy rate now at the highest since 2001.     <\/p>     <h3>The yield landscape has rarely looked better for investors<\/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-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/fed-rate-whimper-en-chart-2.png\" alt=\"Current yields for three major U.S. fixed income sectors\" class=\"img-fluid mb-1-half\" \/>         <p           class=\"sr-only\"           id=\"chart2desc\"         >           Chart showing the current yields for three major U.S. fixed income           sectors: Treasuries, Investment-Grade Corporates, and Municipals,           sorted by average maturities.

The       market\u2019s inflation expectations have fallen back to more normal levels,       dragging yields lower, but that has been offset to some extent by       strengthening growth expectations and lower recession risks.     <\/p>     <p>       Given a resilient economy, we have pushed back our rate cut expectations       to approximately the middle of next year, which should extend the       timeframe that bond investors have to put money to work.     <\/p>     <p>       As such, we remain largely agnostic on yield curve positioning\u2014with the       Fed on hold, total-return performance across maturities should be broadly       similar on a 12-month horizon.     <\/p>     <p>       However, we note that as most investors are likely keen to buy short-dated       bonds and roll them over at maturity, we suggest investors begin to employ       a gradual strategy over the next year of rolling those maturities into       longer-dated bonds.     <\/p>     <p>       Locking in yields for longer, with the potential for capital appreciation       should yields fall, has historically been the play between the last       central bank rate hike and the first central bank rate cut.
