Fed Faces Potential Challenges Ahead of November Meeting

According to PANews, the Federal Reserve may encounter additional complexities in the October employment report, which is expected to be released before the upcoming meeting on November 6-7. Lydia Boussour, a senior economist at EY, stated that any significant slowdown in wage growth and a substantial rise in the unemployment rate could lead data-dependent Fed policymakers to consider another 50 basis point rate cut. However, Neil Dutta, head of economic research at Renaissance Macro Research, anticipates two significant 50 basis point rate cuts in November and December due to complications arising from strikes and hurricane damage.
