Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls Say

"0 cuts" leads at 40% as the Fed holds amid tariff-driven inflation uncertainty

Core PCE remains above target, blocking rate cuts and keeping the Fed on hold

Powell has signaled extended patience — zero cuts through 2026 is a credible base case

Bears Say

Recession risk is building; economic weakness would force at least one cut before year-end

40% for zero cuts implies 60% for at least one cut — the bear case for this outcome is strong

Historical pattern: Fed rarely holds rates flat for a full year when growth is slowing
