According to updated information, **The Federal Reserve of the United States (Fed)** is expected to cut interest rates by an additional **0.25 percentage points** in the meeting on December 18-19, 2024, bringing the interest rate range down to **4.25% - 4.50%**.
However, after the rate cut in December, the Fed may maintain a tightening outlook for 2025, with the possibility of raising interest rates again if inflation does not decrease quickly enough or if the economy grows stronger than expected.
Data from CME Group shows that futures traders are currently betting on about a **95% chance** that the Fed will cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points on December 18.
However, economists at Deutsche Bank predict that at the December meeting, the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged and will not cut them for at least the next year.
With the above information, the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates tomorrow (December 19, 2024) is very high, but the extent and outlook for 2025 remain highly volatile and dependent on macroeconomic factors.
