Factbox-Most brokerages retain expectations of 25-bps rate cut from US Fed in December

(Reuters) -Major brokerages reiterated their view of a 25-basis-point (bp) interest-rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in December after U.S. consumer prices for October increased as expected, even as Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated there is no need to rush rate cuts given strong U.S. economy.

The consumer price index (CPI) rose by 2.6% in October, data showed on Nov. 13, while the core rate, which strips out food and energy, rose 3.3% – in line with market expectations.

Citigroup (NYSE:C) stuck to its view of a cut of 50 bps in December, while all major brokerages continue to see a 25-bps cut post the inflation report.

Following the CPI data, Powell affirmed in prepared remarks delivered at a Dallas Fed event on Nov. 14 that ongoing economic growth, a solid job market, and inflation above its 2% target means the central bank does not need to rush to lower interest rates.

“We now see a greater risk that the FOMC(Federal Open Market Committee) could slow the pace sooner, possibly as soon as the December or January meetings,” Goldman analysts said in a note dated Nov. 14 following Powell’s remarks.

Here are the forecasts from major brokerages after the CPI data:
