The Fed does not raise its target rate again after 2023-03-22 (no further hikes in 2023).

Criterion: no further hikes after 2023-03-22. The disconfirming event first occurred at the May 3, 2023 hike; a second hike followed July 26, 2023. Fully determinable. Outcome assignment left to scoring stage.

Outcome evidence

  • After the March 22, 2023 meeting, the Fed raised its target range AGAIN on May 3, 2023 (to 5.00%-5.25%) and once more on July 26, 2023 (to 5.25%-5.50%). So there were two further hikes in 2023 following the prediction date.

    Evidence

  • Timeline of 2023 FOMC actions confirms hikes in Feb, March, May and July 2023 (holds thereafter). The hiking cycle was not over as of March 22, 2023; two 25bp hikes followed.
