USFR: Keeping An Eye On The Exit (Downgrade To Hold)
Summary
- The Federal Reserve has paused its rate hikes, indicating that short-term interest rates may have peaked.
- Market expectations suggest the first rate cut may occur in mid-2024, with three cuts expected by the end of 2024.
- I plan to switch treasury bill holdings into 2-year notes in anticipation of possible economic weakness and a cut in Fed Funds rates.
