After the results of the USA presidential election were announced, jpmorgan, Nomura, and other Wall Street giants reduced their bets on the Fed cutting interest rates next year. At the same time, based on the negative impact on the economy, Goldman Sachs raised expectations for future interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank. The market also holds a similar view. On Wednesday, US bond yields surged across the board.

The results of the US presidential election were announced, and the Republican candidate Donald Trump was elected. Some Wall Street big banks have reduced their bets on the Fed cutting rates next year, while at the same time, they have increased their bets on the ECB cutting rates in the future. The market also holds similar views, as traders have cut back on their bets for Fed rate cuts next year, with an expected cumulative rate cut of 100 basis points by September next year, and have increased their bets on ECB rate cuts, with an expected cumulative rate cut of 30 basis points by December.

JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli adjusted his forecast for the Fed's interest rate path, writing in a report on Wednesday that the Fed may cut rates by 25 basis points at both this month's and December's meetings, and then start cutting rates quarterly from March next year, i.e., only once per quarter, until the federal funds rate reaches 3.5%.

JPMorgan believes that Trump's ability to reshape the Fed may only slowly materialize over time.

Previously, Feroli's colleague and another analyst at JPMorgan, David Kelly, stated that if Trump wins the US election this week, the Fed may earliest pause its easing cycle in December. The reason is that Trump's expansionary fiscal policy plans will push up inflation and prevent interest rate cuts.

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius said that Goldman may raise its forecast for the core PCE inflation rate at the end of 2025 from around 2% to 2.3%, but may not make significant adjustments to its forecast of 2.5% GDP growth in 2025. Goldman has not made any adjustments to its forecast of Fed's accommodative policy, but pointed out that the risk lies in the Fed possibly choosing to slow down the pace of rate cuts in the future.

Nomura's David Seif and other economists continue to predict that the Fed will cut rates twice by 25 basis points this year. However, their expectations for Fed rate cuts next year are quite pessimistic, with the latest forecast suggesting only one cut next year, far below their previous expectation of four cuts next year. Nomura has raised its terminal rate forecast for Fed rate cuts by 50 basis points to 3.625%.

Nomura believes that Trump will fulfill his campaign proposal to raise tariffs, which will significantly boost inflation in the short term and lead to a moderate slowdown in economic growth.

After Trump announced his victory, Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, also known as the 'New Fed Communications Agency', stated that Trump's election will not currently affect the Fed's monetary policy stance. With the Fed's 25 basis point rate cut this week almost a certainty, the market's focus has shifted to: achieving economic growth in the United States.But after the bursting of the internet bubble and the Fed's rate cut in 2001, the ROI dropped by more than 10%.Before this, how many more rate cuts does the Fed need?

Goldman Sachs economists led by Sven Jari Stehn predict that the European Central Bank will intensify rate cuts after Trump's victory.

Goldman Sachs predicts that the actual GDP of the Eurozone will be impacted by 0.5%, Germany by 0.6%, and Italy by 0.3%. Based on the negative impact on the economy, Goldman Sachs expects this to lead the European Central Bank to make an additional 25 basis point rate cut in July next year. Goldman Sachs' latest forecast predicts that the Eurozone deposit rate will reach 1.75%, compared to the European Central Bank's current deposit rate of 3.25%.

Goldman Sachs analysts also predict that the Swiss National Bank and the Swedish National Bank will make an additional 25 basis point rate cut. Goldman Sachs maintains its rate forecasts for the Bank of England and the Norwegian Central Bank. Goldman Sachs predicts that the actual GDP of the United Kingdom will be impacted by 0.4%.

On Wednesday, U.S. bond yields surged across the board. At the New York session close, the two-year U.S. Treasury yield rose by 8.94 basis points to 4.2659%; the yield on the 10-year benchmark Treasury note rose by 15.48 basis points to 4.4256%; and the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield increased by 17.05 basis points.
