#FedRateCutExpectations As of September 2025, market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut are growing amid signs of a cooling U.S. economy. Slower job growth, easing inflation, and weakening consumer spending have increased speculation that the Fed may pivot from its prolonged tightening stance. Analysts and investors are closely watching upcoming FOMC meetings and economic data for signals of a potential rate cut. While the Fed remains cautious, emphasizing data dependency, futures markets are increasingly pricing in a cut as early as December 2025. A rate cut could offer relief to borrowers and support economic growth, but inflation risks still linger.
