FED Meeting December 2025 Expectations: Will US Federal Reserve Cut Rates? CME FedWatch Shows 90% Probability

According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, markets have priced in an 89.6% chance that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by another 25 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate down to a range of 3.50%-3.75%. Analysts believe that ebbing inflation, rising unemployment, and increased political scrutiny ahead of the 2026 election cycle are contributing to expectations of policy easing.

In its previous meeting on October 29, 2025, the Federal Reserve cut the key interest rate to 3.75%-4.00%, marking a 25 bps reduction and the second rate cut of 2025. The first cut came in September 2025, the Fed's first rate reduction since December 2024.
