🚨 BREAKING: Fed and Markets Split on 2026 Rate Cuts
The Federal Reserve’s latest dot plot projects only one 25bps rate cut in 2026, reflecting a cautious stance as inflation remains above the 2% target.
Markets see a different path. 📉
Interest-rate futures are pricing in two or more cuts, with expectations that the Fed funds rate could move closer to 3% by late 2026, below the Fed’s 3.25%–3.5% median outlook.
👉 This growing gap shows investors are positioning for slower growth and earlier easing, while the Fed continues to signal patience.
