FED DOT PLOT COULD SIGNAL ANOTHER 2026 HIKE The Fed’s updated Dot Plot is expected to show rates ending 2026 near 4.1%, implying another hike after today’s anticipated 25bp increase.

Market angle: whether the Fed preserves a 2027 cut could determine whether today’s message is interpreted as hawkish or more balanced.(彭博社)
