Forward guidance

  • Inflation will slow with the recession.
  • Inflation will be back to the Federal Reserve’s 2% long-term objective by mid-2024.
  • PNC expects the FOMC to raise the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in May.
  • PNC expects a federal funds rate cut of 25 basis points in early 2024 as inflation moves toward the FOMC’s 2% long-term objective.

Headwinds

  • Economic growth is slowing in response to the ongoing Federal Reserve monetary policy tightening to slow inflation.
  • The housing market is already in contraction, with steep drops in existing home sales and single-family housing starts, and a modest decline in house prices.
  • Other sectors where interest rates play an outsized role, such as business investment and consumer spending on durable goods, will contract over 2023.
  • PNC’s baseline outlook is for a recession starting in the second half of 2023.
