Deutsche Bank forecasts ECB interest rate hike and Fed cut

Deutsche Bank predicts the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise interest rates by 0.25 percentage points to 2.50%, while expecting the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to maintain a cautious stance, with a potential rate cut in 2027. The report highlights factors such as higher energy costs, weaker consumption in the U.S., continued fiscal support, and investments in artificial intelligence influencing the Fed’s decisions. The Fed recently decided to keep interest rates between 3.50% and 3.75%. The article also notes expectations of 2% GDP growth in the U.S. for 2026 and 2027, with inflation still

O banco central dos Estados Unidos da América, a Reserva Federal (Fed), agora presidido por Kevin Warsh – o homem escolhido por Donald Trump para que a Fed iniciasse finalmente a descida das taxas de juro que o Presidente tanto deseja para dar um alívio ao custo da enorme dívida pública norte-americana – manteve inalteradas as taxas de juro principais da maior economia do mundo. A Fed revelou que a decisão em manter juros foi unânime, ou seja, até o próprio Warsh votou nela.

Contrariamente ao que vem no caderno de encargos ditado pelo Presidente Trump que nomeou Kevin Warsh para substituir Jerome Powell, que se tornou uma persona non grata para o próprio Trump, a Fed revelou, esta quarta-feira, que, afinal, não há condições ao nível dos valores da inflação (está demasiado alta e com tendência a subir ainda mais por causa do choque energético ou num cenário de alta incerteza) que permitam ou justifiquem uma descida de taxas de juro, como tanto deseja o Chefe de Estado.

Apesar do seu currículo e de algumas posições recentes, o longo dos últimos dois, três anos, que agradaram aos ouvidos de Trump, Warsh também votou a favor desta decisão de manter juros.

"O Comité Federal de Mercado Aberto aprovou a seguinte declaração para divulgação por 12 votos a zero: o Comité decidiu manter o intervalo-alvo para a taxa dos fundos federais entre 3,5% e 3,75%, de forma a apoiar o duplo mandato da Reserva Federal".

O Comité diz que "reafirmou a sua política de manutenção de amplas reservas no sistema bancário" e também revelou novas previsões para a economia.

Aqui, o sistema federal de bancos centrais dos EUA dispara um rol de sinais que também servem de argumentos fortíssimos para não descer juros. Diz que "a atividade económica está a expandir-se a um ritmo sólido, apesar da elevada incerteza que se deve, em parte, ao conflito no Médio Oriente".

E mais: "O crescimento da produtividade e o investimento de capital são fortes" e "os ganhos de emprego acompanharam o ritmo da força de trabalho e a taxa de desemprego pouco se alterou".

Pelo contrário, "a inflação continua elevada em relação ao objetivo de 2%, refletindo em parte os choques de oferta que levaram a aumentos de preços em certos sectores, incluindo a energia".

O comité da Fed diz que "garantirá a estabilidade dos preços", o mesmo que dizer que, enquanto a inflação continuar "elevada", acima dos tais 2%, Trump não deve esperar pelos seus tão almejados cortes de taxas.

Warsh é um economista alinhado com a direita mais conservadora do Partido Republicano e uma figura reputada nesses círculos económicos conservadores, tendo sido conselheiro do ex-Presidente dos EUA George W. Bush e também um dos membros do Conselho de Governadores da Reserva Federal, originalmente nomeado pelo mesmo George W. Bush, em 2006.

The Fed keeps interest rates on hold at Kevin Warsh's first meeting.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has decided to keep interest rates unchanged between 3.50% and 3.75% following a two-day meeting that marked the debut of Kevin Warsh at the institution. The decision was made despite pressure from President Donald Trump to lower interest rates more quickly. According to a statement, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) emphasized its commitment to supporting the dual mandate of the Federal Reserve while maintaining abundant reserves in the banking system. Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace, though there is high uncertainty partly due to the conflict.

Trump demanded rate cuts, but even his pick to lead the Fed voted to keep interest rates

The Federal Reserve (Fed), now led by Kevin Warsh, who was chosen by former President Donald Trump to lower interest rates, has decided to keep interest rates unchanged. The decision was unanimous, including Warsh's vote. Despite Trump's expectations, the Fed stated that current inflation levels, which remain high and are expected to rise further due to energy shocks or uncertainty, do not justify a rate cut.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the Fed's decision to maintain interest rates without overtly favoring either side. It mentions Trump's expectations and Warsh's appointment but does not use biased language or selectively present information. The framing remains neutral, focusing on the economic rationale for维持
