Analyst says a 50bp rate hike from the Federal Reserve in March is warranted

  • Anna Wong is the Chief U.S. Economist for Bloomberg Economics

The Bloomberg economist says:

  • Our in-house model of a Fed reaction function -- the Bloomberg Economics rule ("BE rule") -- suggests that a 50 basis-point rate hike at the March meeting is warranted, followed by another five 25 basis-point rate hikes the rest of the year.

Maybe 50bps is warranted, maybe it isn't. The Fed is still doing QE on a massive scale. they will not hike by 50bps in March (IMO anyway).

"You want me what?"
