The research team at a European bank has kept its Federal Reserve call unchanged, pointing to US inflation still above the 2% target and an economy that continues to expand at a firm pace. It expects one additional rate rise this year and another in 2027, framing the policy outlook as shaped more by persistent price pressures than by any rapid cooling in activity.

The research team at a European bank has kept its Federal Reserve call unchanged, pointing to US inflation still above the 2% target and an economy that continues to expand at a firm pace. It expects one additional rate rise this year and another in 2027, framing the policy outlook as shaped more by persistent price pressures than by any rapid cooling in activity.
