Reuters’ latest survey indicates that market expectations for the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate outlook are undergoing a notable shift. Expectations of an October rate hike have cooled, but a consensus among surveyed economists now holds that another rate hike in December is likely, as strong economic growth and persistent inflation pressures are reshaping monetary policy expectations. The survey, conducted between October 16 and 20, polled 94 economists who projected the Fed will keep the federal funds rate in the 3.75% to 4.00% range at its October 27-28 meeting. This outlook aligns with market pricing, and the meeting falls just days ahead of the U.S. November midterm elections. In contrast, expectations for December rates have seen a sharp turnaround: last month’s survey found fewer than half of economists anticipated a December rate hike, while this time, all 100 respondents forecast another hike by then.
