New York Fed President Williams said the Fed could hike in 2024.The Loonie extended its losses to two straight days, though it trimmed some of its losses after thehit a daily high of 1.3473 but retreated toward the current spot price. Factors like China’s riot due to Covid-19 zero-tolerance policies and Federal Reserve officials laying the ground for slower borrowing cost increases capped the USD/CAD rally. At the time of writing, the USD/CAD is trading at 1.3442, above its opening price.
Earlier, Williams said he expects inflation to fall to 5.0%-5.5% by the end of 2022 and 3.0%-3.5% by late 2023 and noted that the baseline forecast does not predict a recession for the US. In the meantime, the St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said the Fed needs to keep increasing rates until 2023. He commented that rates must reach the low end of the 5%-7% rate range, adding that a recession is not inevitable.
Traders should remember that the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee minutes for the last meeting indicated that “A substantial majority of participants judged that a slowing in the pace of increase would likely soon be appropriate,” cementing the Fed’s moderating interest rates.

Traders should know that Mester expects the FFR to end at around 5%.
