US economy defies slowdown, growing 4.4% as consumers keep spending strong

Donald Trump has imposed more trade barriers than any US president in a century, but many threats remain unrealized. Recent tariff proposals on European nations regarding Greenland were withdrawn after diplomatic pushback, indicating tariffs are often used as negotiation tools. This strategy may be losing effectiveness as foreign governments prepare for retaliation. Financial markets reacted to these developments with volatility, but the gap between rhetoric and implementation has limited economic fallout. While tariffs generate significant revenue, legal challenges and criticism raise questions about the sustainability of this approach.

The Federal Reserve is expected to adopt a dovish tone at its upcoming monetary policy meeting, maintaining interest rates while signaling a potential for future cuts. Recent labor market data supports this pause, with Morgan Stanley analysts suggesting that Fed Chair Powell will emphasize an easing bias in his communication.

The release of leading U.S. economic indicators was delayed due to a temporary network outage by The Conference Board.

Economists predict that the US Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates until June, according to a Bloomberg survey. This is a shift from earlier expectations of a March cut due to persistent inflation and a stabilizing labor market. The Fed's preferred inflation metric is expected to remain above the 2% target until mid-2027. The survey indicates that the second rate reduction of the year may occur in September. Economic growth remains strong, with fourth-quarter GDP projected to rise by 2.1%.

- According to a recent Bloomberg survey, economists now expect the Federal Reserve to hold off on interest rate cuts until after June.  
- Due to persistent inflation pressures and signs of a stable labor market, the timeline for rate reductions has been delayed despite previous expectations for a March cut.  
- The survey also indicates that the core personal consumption expenditures price index is projected to average 2.7% this year, and the expected GDP growth for the fourth quarter has risen to 2.1%.
