[Economists Predict Fed Rate Cut in December and Two More Cuts Planned for 2026] Economists predict that Federal Reserve officials will vote to cut interest rates on December 10 (2:00 PM Washington time) to address risks of a deteriorating labor market. The median survey result indicates that the Fed is expected to implement two additional 25-basis-point rate cuts in 2026, starting in March. This rate cut will continue the trend of rate reductions from the September and October policy meetings. Most respondents believe that Fed officials will reiterate the view that 'downside risks to employment have increased in recent months.' Chairman Jerome Powell will hold a press conference following the announcement of the decision.
