US: Change to Fed Outlook – 6 March 2017

Change to fed rate call - March hike now expected.

Key points:

  • Following clear signals from the Fed over the last week we now expect the next increase in the fed funds rate will be in this month’s meeting.
  • We are also now expecting three rate hikes this year rather than two.
