Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said ​on Friday a fragile job market that could weaken quickly means the U.S. central bank should stand ready to cut interest rates ‌again if needed.

Interest rates are likely to edge lower in 2026 as the Fed weighs inflation, jobs and political pressure. See what forecasts suggest for the year ahead.

JP Morgan no longer expects Fed rate cuts in 2026, now forecasting a 2027 hike. Goldman Sachs and Barclays delay cut predictions.

The Federal Reserve will meet later this month to make a decision on interest rates. But the latest inflation report is likely to make the central bank cautious about additional rate cuts.

J.P. Morgan predicts the U.S. Federal Reserve's next move will be a rate hike in 2027, while Barclays and Goldman Sachs joined Morgan Stanley in postponing rate cut calls to mid-2026 as data suggested that the labor market was not rapidly deteriorating.
