How many Fed rate cuts in 2026?

What this question means

Ninety-three percent on zero cuts, 6% on one, and effectively nothing beyond. The crowd sees the Federal Reserve holding or raising through 2026, not easing.

Four questions on this board price different slices of the same picture, and they agree. A rate hike at some point in 2026 sits at 71%. The September meeting is near a coin flip between a quarter-point rise and no change. The June-to-September sequence favours consecutive holds. And here, cuts are essentially ruled out.

That coherence is worth noticing, because it is not guaranteed. Separate questions are priced by overlapping but distinct groups of people, and inconsistencies between them do appear. When a family of related markets lines up this cleanly, it indicates a genuine consensus rather than four independent guesses.

Counting questions like this are also unusually clean to resolve. Meetings are scheduled, decisions are published, and there is no argument about what counts.
