Standard Chartered Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) forecast for the first two meetings on 2023:

  • We keep our forecast of 25bps in February
  • followed by a pause (in March)
  • This puts us 50bps below the FOMC median and about 25bps below the market
  • We expect slowing activity to provide sufficient motivation to pause at the March FOMC meeting
