With energy prices soaring, markets have swung from anticipating two 25bp rate cuts this year to now not even pricing one fully. * The updated Dot Plot is likely to show the same median expectation for the rate path as December's, including one 25bp cut by end-2026, which combined with a largely unchanged statement will effectively maintain the easing bias. * Incoming data for the year so far won't allay hawks' skepticism that inflation is headed sustainably to 2%, and while job gains remain soft at best, the labor market hasn't deteriorated to the point once feared. * The threat posed to both dual mandate variables from the conflict in the Middle East gives policymakers even more reason to wait and see how things develop. * We suspect that most on the FOMC, including the core leadership, will be more concerned with the potential demand destruction from the ongoing energy supply-side shock, than with the inflationary implications. * But this is no time for pre-emptive action given inflation remaining above-target and expectations beginning to pick up, and it will take some months before a case can be made to resume easing.
