On October 14th, the analysts Nicholas Chia and Steve Englander of Standard Chartered Bank stated in a report that although the Federal Reserve is anticipated to keep cutting interest rates throughout 2025, the probability of further rate cuts in 2026 will decline if the economic momentum in the US remains strong.
