[Golden Credit Rating: Fed Still Has a Chance of Further Rate Hikes in 2027] Golden Data, October 29th – Golden Credit Rating stated that the hawkish stance of the Federal Reserve's October meeting has not subsided. Two voting members advocated for continued rate hikes, with Governor Cook, previously considered a centrist, casting his first dissenting vote, indicating a further decline in the Fed's tolerance for inflation risks. However, most members chose to observe the policy effects after the September rate hike, thus entering a phase of cautious observation and discretionary decision-making in monetary policy. Starting in 2027, the Fed will reduce the number of formal interest rate decisions, primarily to create strategic space for restructuring its balance sheet. This will have limited impact on the interest rate decisions themselves, but will increase market pricing volatility and the scope for speculation. Looking ahead, with high international oil prices and sticky core inflation, the probability of the Fed raising rates by another 25 basis points at its December meeting, bringing the rate to the 4.00% to 4.25% range, is relatively high. Further rate hikes are still possible in 2027.
