Interest Rates, the Economy and Where We’re Heading in 2024!


Please join FEI Portland and guest speaker Ralph Axel, Director | US Rates Strategist, BofA Global Research, for a discussion and Q&A on the outlook for interest rates, monetary and fiscal policy, and the overall economy in 2024. Will the Fed be able to reduce interest rates in 2024, or will inflation keep them on hold? Will the election cycle matter for the Fed? Will US credit rating downgrades and the rise in deficits create problems for US financing or the dollar?
