As core inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, three interest rate cuts are still projected for this year, consistent with central bankers’ lower rate outlook. In this episode, Matthew Schnurr and Dustin Reid, Chief Fixed Income Strategist at Mackenzie Investments, discuss how the subtle changes in the Fed’s long-term outlook suggest a dovish stance, which could indicate that higher inflation rates may be more acceptable in the future. Dustin also explores the implications of the weaker-than-expected inflation numbers in Canada and how the BoC’s April meeting could set the stage for future policy actions. Finally, Dustin explains the BoJ’s historic interest rate hike, the first in 17 years, and the end of their yield curve control policy.
