Goldman Sachs predicts the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again in October, revising its forecast amid current economic trends. Meanwhile, CICC counters that consecutive and substantial hikes lack fundamental support, citing financial constraints and economic growth risks. High mortgage rates, nearing 7%, also underscore the restrictive implications of higher interest rates, suggesting reflexive effects could limit substantial increases by the Fed.

Goldman Sachs: Federal Reserve to Raise Rates Again in October

September 17: Goldman Sachs said, "We have revised our forecast for the Federal Reserve's interest-rate path and now expect the Fed to raise rates once again in October."

CICC: Fundamentals Do Not Support Consecutive and Substantial Fed Rate Increases

September 17: CICC said in a research report that, judging from the Federal Reserve's statements at its latest meeting and current economic fundamentals, there is no fundamental basis for consecutive and substantial rate increases, meaning three or more increases, unless oil prices subsequently spiral out of control.

High interest rates will also gradually feed through to financial conditions and restrain economic growth. This will become a reflexive factor preventing the Fed from continuing to raise rates substantially. For example, the U.S. 30-year mortgage rate is already approaching 7%.
