What will it take for Federal Reserve to pause rate hike? Bank of America Survey reveals

Bank of America Survey: In a special segment aired on Zee Business, Senior Analyst Varun Dubey discussed the fund manager’s survey done by the Bank of America (BoFA) which was conducted earlier this month. 

According to the survey, 85 per cent of the fund managers believe that in 2023, there will be a decline in inflation, while 92 per cent believe that stagflation will remain constant. Further the report stated that bond deals will also be on decline in 2023 which according to Varun, is an indication that the market has already bottomed out.

The survey also said that fund managers believe the US Fed will keep hiking the interest rate until the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index — a measure of the prices that people living in the United States, or those buying on their behalf, pay for goods and services — comes below 4 per cent from the current 5.1 per cent.
