#FedRateCutPrediction This week brings the Fed’s final policy meeting of the year, and all eyes are fixed on Wednesday’s rate decision. Markets are pricing in an 84 percent chance of a 25 bps cut, but the real story is whether the Fed signals confidence about the path ahead. A cut alone won’t shock anyone because investors have been expecting it, but the tone that follows could set the direction for the rest of the year. If Powell hints at easing inflation and a smoother road toward more cuts in 2026, the market could catch a meaningful rebound as risk appetite improves. If he sounds cautious or uncertain, the reaction may stay muted. This meeting will decide whether the year ends with renewed strength or another stretch of hesitation.
