Economists See Two Fed 2026 Rate Cuts and Reveal Worries Over Chair Nominee Warsh

Economists pushed back their expectation for the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate cut to June from March, but still see two quarter-point reductions by year-end, according to a survey by Bloomberg News.

The 46 economists surveyed anticipate a faster pace of cuts than what futures markets are pricing in. It’s also one more 2026 cut than Fed officials favored in December, according to their median projection.
