Fed's Warsh signals no rate hike soon despite inflation concerns
Next Fed rate hike?
Kalshi prices this Before 2027 at 47%. The reporting broadly agrees.
The Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady at its latest meeting, with officials signaling no immediate rate hike despite inflation concerns. This decision comes as the US consumer inflation slowed more than expected in June, but the moderation was insufficient to convince financial markets to take an interest-rate increase from the Federal Reserve this year off the table. Despite this, traders are pricing in a rate hike before 2027, with the crowd's probability at roughly a coin-flip.
Background

The market has been pricing in a rate hike, with the crowd's probability at roughly a coin-flip, but the latest move suggests that the Fed is taking a more measured approach.
