Rumors of Fed possibly pause rate hikes cycle as early as spring of 2019

There are market rumors of Fed possibly pausing the rate hike cycle as early as in spring 2019. With no official sources confirming, the story should be interpreted with caution.

Officially, the Federal Reserve did not provide any official signal of that to come apart from Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari, a non-voting and ultra-dovish Fed member.
