Danske Bank: Expects the Fed May Hike Rates Twice

TechFlow news, August 19, Danske Bank Senior Analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and Chief Analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated that the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates once in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, to address potential inflationary pressure. At that time, the key policy rate will rise to 4.00%-4.25%. They pointed out in the report: "We still believe rate hikes could occur earlier, but the latest disappointing data makes the risk outlook more balanced." The money market currently expects the Fed to raise rates by 23 basis points in December, and cumulatively raise rates by 33 basis points before March 2027. (Jin10)
