Matheus Dibo, head of investment strategy for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at Goldman Sachs, stated that the Federal Reserve is likely to maintain interest rates unchanged throughout 2026, with inflation risks expected to ease in the second half of the year. "Clearly, the market is still digesting the expectations for interest rate hikes, but we actually disagree with this view and believe that the Fed will keep rates unchanged for the foreseeable future," Dibo said in an interview on Wednesday. He noted that the inflation data released earlier this year was influenced by oil prices, the World Cup, and tariffs, but there are currently few signs that inflation will spread throughout the remainder of 2026. Dibo added that, given trends in the housing market, housing inflation should also ease. (Bloomberg)
