Fed projections point to one additional 2026 hike and then a hold through 2027, leaving the year-end 2027 range at 4.00%-4.25%.
What happened
Fed projections point to one additional 2026 hike and then a hold through 2027, leaving the year-end 2027 range at 4.00%-4.25%.
Why it matters
Markets price roughly three tightening moves through end-2027, about two more than the Fed path. The gap shows investors pricing more policy restraint than Fed officials currently project, without proving the market is right.
What to watch
Watch whether end-2027 market pricing and Fed projections converge after new inflation evidence.
