Economists See Fed Cutting Rates 25 Basis Points by Q3 2027 as Markets Price In Hikes
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 25
Summary
A Bloomberg survey found economists still expect the Federal Reserve’s next move to be a 25-basis-point rate cut in the third quarter of 2027.
That forecast shifted a quarter later than in last month’s survey, showing economists have pushed back the timing but not the direction of the Fed’s next move.
Markets and some policymakers are signaling the opposite risk, with investors pricing in higher borrowing costs by year-end and officials suggesting rate hikes could still be ahead.
