The head of the world’s largest money manager said it’s unlikely the central bank will hit its 2% goal anytime soon.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink expects the Fed to do some reductions this year, while it may have to concede that inflation will remain elevated.
Fed officials have expressed reluctance to start cutting until they see more convincing evidence that the pace of price increases is heading back to target. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink predicted Friday that the Federal Reserve likely will still cut interest rates this year but won't meet its inflation target.
With markets on edge over the direction of monetary policy, the head of the world's largest money manager said it's unlikely the central bank will hit its 2% goal anytime soon. AStill, Fink expects the Fed to do some reductions this year while it may have to concede that inflation will remain elevated.
But Fink said the central bank may have its sights set too high, or too low as the case might be for inflation."Inflation has moderated and we've always said inflation is going to moderate. But is it going to moderate to that terminal rate the Federal Reserve is looking for? I feel doubtful," he said."Do I believe that we could get a stable inflation between 2.8% and 3%? I'd call it a day and a win.
