More from Musalem: I expect growth this year to be lower than trend

  • Not exactly and out-of-consensus call from the St Louis Fed President
Musalem
  • Tariffs if implemented pose upside risks to inflation but doesn't know if that's months, quarters or years
  • Higher inflation and a softer labor market is closer to the baseline scenario now
  • If inflation expectations become unanchored, have to prioritize fighting inflation
  • Uncertainty on tariff announcements also a headwind

The Fed funds market is 93% priced for a June cut and 92 bps are priced in for the year ahead.
