Federal Reserve Rate Outlook to 2026
A Reuters poll shows that most economists expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged at its September 15-16 meeting and for the rest of 2026, despite rising inflation levels and the risks associated with increasing them. Around 70% of experts anticipate that interest rates will remain within the 3.50% to 3.75% range next week, with some possibly raising them for the first time since July 2023 if inflation data comes in positively. The market now indicates at least two more rate hikes by March 2027, amid rising inflation and high oil prices, along with ongoing political pressure on the central bank regarding inflation rates, which are expected to stay above the Fed’s 2% target until 2028.
