Barclays: Federal Reserve Expected to Keep Interest Rates Steady Until End of 2027

Barclays expects the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates unchanged until the end of 2027. Nevertheless, Barclays strategists believe that the risk of rate hikes still exists. The strategists pointed out that the latest minutes from the Federal Reserve's policy meeting indicate that participants are increasingly concerned about inflation, and the risk of persistently high inflation remains, partly due to strong demand for investments related to artificial intelligence. There are differing views among participants regarding the future direction of policy.
