Here's When the Federal Reserve is Expected to Cut Interest Rates in 2026, and What it Means for the Stock Market

Key Points

  • The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates three times in 2025, which followed three cuts in 2024.
  • Inflation remains elevated, which would normally prevent further reductions, but the soaring unemployment rate is forcing the Fed's hand.
  • Most policymakers at the Fed foresee at least one more interest rate cut in 2026, while Wall Street is looking for two.
