"J.P. Morgan Global Research expects the Fed to remain on hold through 2026, keeping the funds rate steady at 3.5–3.75%."

"Our view is that the data will guide them toward not cutting."

"The Fed funds rate is now within a broad range of estimates of its neutral value, and we are well-positioned to wait to see how the economy evolves."

“With core inflation remaining above the 2% target for some considerable time, we think the Fed will cut its policy rate by only 25 [basis points] in 2026, putting the new Fed chair and President Trump at loggerheads almost immediately.”

"We expect one 25bp reduction in the first quarter of 2026, consistent with the median forecast from top Fed officials in the dot plot for one cut this year."

"Altogether in 2026, the bond market is expecting 50 more basis points of easing, or two 25-point cuts."

"The Fed will deliver rate cuts of 25 basis points each in June and September and that the fed funds rate will finish this cycle at 3%-3.25%."

"Morgan Stanley now expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates in January, April and June 2026, bringing the policy rate down to 3% to 3.25%."

"Our forecast of additional cuts next year is due to the change in leadership, not our read on the economy."

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Monday that President Donald Trump failed to provide Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook the procedural protections required by law before attempting to remove her, allowing her to remain in her position while her legal challenge proceeds.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the court's three Democratic-appointed justices, held that firing Cook without notice and an opportunity to respond rendered her removal "erroneous and void."

The court declined to rule on whether the mortgage fraud allegations against Cook met the legal standard for "cause" under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, sending that question back to the lower courts for further examination.

Trump moved to fire Cook in August 2025, citing claims by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte that she had listed two separate properties as her primary residence on mortgage documents. Cook has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime.

On the same day as the Cook ruling, the court issued a separate 6-3 decision in Trump v. Slaughter, overturning the 1935 Humphrey's Executor precedent and allowing the president to fire members of independent federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission at will.

The court's majority opinion noted the Federal Reserve holds a "unique historical status" distinct from other independent agencies, a distinction that informed its decision to preserve the central bank's removal protections while expanding presidential firing power elsewhere.
