U.S. Interest Rates Expected to Decline Slightly by Year-End

According to Odaily, Brendan Murphy, Head of Fixed Income at Insight Investment, has indicated in a report that U.S. interest rates may see a slight decline by the end of this year, with more substantial rate cuts anticipated next year. Despite a weakening economic outlook, recent inflationary pressures from U.S. trade tariffs are complicating the Federal Reserve's policy response. In this context, the Federal Reserve is expected to adopt a cautious approach. The institution predicts that in 2026, as inflation pressures ease and growth concerns become more prominent, the Federal Reserve will take more decisive rate-cutting actions.
