Investing.com — The Dow and Nasdaq clinched record closes Friday, amid optimism for rate cuts next year even as a Federal Reserve official attempted to pour cold water on aggressive rate cuts next year.

Williams pushed back against the market's rate cut expectations, though the index remained on track for its worst weekly performance in a month. The dollar tumbled broadly after updated interest rate projections of Fed officials released on Wednesday showed an expectation for 75 basis points in cuts in 2024. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was also interpreted as striking a more dovish tone at the conclusion of the U.S. central bank's two day meeting, when he said that the tightening of monetary policy is likely over, with a discussion of cuts coming «into view.» But Williams said on Friday that «we aren't really talking about rate cuts right now» at the Fed and it's «premature» to speculate about them. «It strikes some of the similar tones that we heard from Powell earlier this week but it kind of reinforces the fact that the Fed is still very much a data dependent bank and not really endorsing what the market's pricing in to a degree,» said Bipan Rai, North American head of FX strategy at CIBC Capital Markets in Toronto. Rai also noted that a large part of the move in the dollar this week has been due to rebalancing positions that were heavily tilted towards the greenback and focused in specific currency pairs, such as against the Japanese yen. «This is a story about the inordinate amount of leverage and skewed positioning in the market that needed to be rebalanced more than any sort of dovish interpretation of what Powell said earlier this week,» he said. Traders are pricing in aggressive expectations for rate cuts, with the first reduction seen likely in March and 145 basis points in cuts seen by December. The dollar index was last up 0.39% on the day at 102.35.
