IMF: Faster Fed rate hikes could rattle financial markets

“Faster Fed rate hikes could rattle financial markets, result in slowing US demand and capital outflows from emerging markets,” International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in a blog post published on Monday.

Key takeaways

Broad wage inflation or sustained supply bottlenecks could boost US prices more than expected, trigger faster-Fed rate increases.

Continues to expect robust US growth, sees inflation moderating later this year.

Expect global recovery to continue in 2022 and 2023, but risks remain elevated by the resurgent pandemic.
