Citigroup Now Sees Fed Rate Cut Coming in June, Not May

Big update from Citigroup: they're now expecting the U.S. Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates in June, rather than the previously predicted May. This slight delay reflects the bank's careful read of current economic conditions.

But there’s more — Citigroup still believes the Fed will slash rates by a total of 125 basis points over the course of 2025, which could ease borrowing costs and support economic growth.

Federal Reserve official Austan Goolsbee also weighed in, reminding everyone that rate decisions aren’t based on one factor alone — while tariffs and trade policies do play a role, the Fed looks at the entire economic picture before making any moves.

In simple terms:

. A rate cut means cheaper loans and more spending power.

. It can boost markets, encourage investment, and support jobs.

. But the Fed is being cautious, making sure the timing is right based on how the economy evolves.

Investors and businesses alike will be watching closely as June approaches.
