Federal Reserve Policy Outlook 2
Author: Shashi Prakash Agarwal

Saturn’s Position and Policy Implications
Astrological cycles indicate Saturn’s steady transit through Pisces supports a measured approach to monetary easing. This correlates with economic indicators pointing to gradual improvement without runaway inflation.
Rate Cut Trajectory
The Annual Letter suggests two incremental rate cuts by mid-2025, aligning with Saturn’s stabilizing influence. The Fed is expected to prioritize credibility and inflation expectations rather than aggressive stimulus.
Market Reactions
Equity markets may interpret the Fed’s restraint as a positive for long-duration assets like tech and growth, while bond yields may compress moderately as policy clarity emerges.
Risks to the Outlook
Unexpected geopolitical shocks or a resurgence of inflation could delay cuts. Saturn’s opposition aspects highlight caution in Q2 where volatility clusters may reprice expectations.
