Financial markets are anticipating that the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates this week, with futures traders assigning more than a 95% probability to the idea that the rates will remain unchanged. If the Fed does hold off on making cuts, the baseline interest rate will stay between 4.25% and 4.50%, a range it has maintained since December 2024. This suggests that, at least in the short term, the Fed will adopt a wait-and-see approach to assess the impact of the current economic conditions.
