This is down from 8.1% a month ago.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Economist’s Take</h2>Jeremy Siegel, professor emeritus of finance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, stated last week that cooling inflation gives the Federal Reserve more room to move the policy rate down further. Eventually, he expects additional easing that will take rates closer to the low-3% range.According to the Fed’s dot-plot projections, the median estimate for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026 is 3.4%, which is a quarter point lower than the current range of 3.5% and 3.75%. This points to just one cut in 2026.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fed’s Pivot</h2>The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met eight times in 2025 and chose to keep rates unchanged in the first five meetings.The central bank noted in its first five meetings that the labor market conditions were “solid,” but changed its tone in the sixth meeting in September, with the FOMC statement stating that “job gains have slowed this year” in the last three meetings of the year. However, its tone on inflation was consistent throughout the year, with the central bank stating that it remained “somewhat elevated.”Inflation remained above the Fed’s long-term target of 2%, and the central bank expects it to stay above this level throughout 2026 as well as 2027.The Fed also ended its Quantitative Tightening (QT) program on December 1, bringing an end to a multi-year effort to reduce its balance sheet.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Growing Dissent</h2>Dissent among central bank officials has been growing. The first four FOMC meetings saw unanimous agreement among the committee's voting members on the rate policy, but since the fifth meeting, there has been dissent.Notable among the dissenters this year is Fed Governor Stephen Miran, who has voted for a 50 bps cut thrice since being sworn in to the position in September.During the December FOMC meeting, there were three dissenters against the central bank’s monetary policy action — while Miran wanted a larger 50 bps cut, Austan Goolsbee and Jeffrey Schmid wanted no cuts.According to a CNBC&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/10/the-fed-is-the-most-divided-its-been-in-more-than-a-decade.html">report</a>, this is the most divisive the Fed has been in the past six years.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Leadership Change Ahead</h2>Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s term is set to expire in May 2026.

How Fed’s 2025 Pivot, QT Exit, And Rising Dissent Reshaped Rate Expectations This Year

After holding rates steady for most of 2025 and resisting President Donald Trump’s calls for rate cuts, the central bank ended the year with three consecutive 25 basis point reductions in the policy rate.

The 2-year Treasury yield declined two basis points to hover at 3.493% at the time of writing.Analysts say a mix of tepid fourth-quarter (Q4) growth forecasts and deeper structural market forces is keeping long-term yields from collapsing, reflecting macroeconomic caution and persistent term-premium pressures.“You can’t have inflation and growth running at this pace and expect 10-year yields to move much lower,” said Gregory Faranello, head of U.S. rates strategy at AmeriVet Securities, according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/26/treasury-yields-are-little-changed-as-traders-return-from-christmas-holiday.html">report</a> by CNBC.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Growth Slowdown Likely</h2>Analysts at ING Think stated in a recent note that they expect the Q4 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth to be “considerably slower,” following the third-quarter (Q3)&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/us-gdp-q3-december-2025/cLep8gzREuU">GDP surprise</a>.The firm tempered its expectations for Q4 GDP due to the 43-day-long U.S. government shutdown, and expects a slowdown in consumer spending as well during the quarter.“Expectations of cooling data probably explains the relatively muted market reaction with the 10Y Treasury yield only up 3bp on the day [of GDP report release] and Fed funds rate cut expectations for 2026 still holding above 50bp,” the firm said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Rate Cut Outlook</h2>Jeremy Siegel, professor emeritus of finance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, on Tuesday stated that he expects cooling inflation to give the Federal Reserve more room to lower the policy rate further. He expects additional easing that will take rates closer to the low-3% range.According to data from the CME FedWatch&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in January is now at 17.7%, down from 22.1% a week ago.However, Siegel still does not see a collapse in longer yields even if the policy rate is lowered. “I do not expect that to automatically pull the 10-year down by the same magnitude. The long end is likely to remain anchored in the low-4% area as term premium, issuance, and structural forces keep longer yields from collapsing,” he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Entry Points To Become Attractive</h2>Analysts at Nuveen stated in their latest note that the entry points for Treasuries will become attractive going forward.“Risk premiums may widen further, with entry points likely to become more attractive over the coming quarters. Duration is likely to reassume its role as a growth hedge,” the firm said.It added that current yields present compelling opportunities for investors, while noting material downside risks to the U.S. economy. The firm said that tariffs are likely to compress consumer spending and weigh on business fixed investment, but it still does not have a recession as its base case.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Key Data</h2>While the earnings season is drawing to a close, investors will keep an eye on the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) minutes from the December meeting, scheduled to be released on Tuesday.Home sales data on Monday, and the S&amp;P Case-Shiller home price index on Tuesday will also be on investors’ radars next week.The weekly jobless claims report from the U.S. Department of Labor will also be keenly monitored.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TLT">iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF</a> (TLT) was up 0.15% at the time of writing, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IEF">iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF</a> (IEF) was up 0.16%.
