Will there be a Fed rate hike in 2H15?

A June rate hike is unlikely, but possible.

Policy-makers believe that the US economy will resume moderate expansion after the first-quarter slowdown.

According to SGX, FOMC minutes suggest a June rate hike is unlikely, but “did not rule out this possibility”; conditions for rate increase hinge on “further improvement” in labour market and confidence that inflation would return to 2% goal over the medium term.

SGX says that most policy-makers saw the need to make the decision on a meeting-by-meeting basis, based on available data and outlook.

Policy-makers also attribute most of the US economy’s weakness to “partly or even largely transitory” factors.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
