Interesting insights. It’ll be crucial to watch economic indicators and Fed guidance closely to see if markets are indeed overestimating rate cuts.
👍
The pace of interest rate cuts depends on factors such as declining inflation, cooling employment, and changes in financial conditions. Kaplan's breakdown of these variables is invaluable.
This was a helpful breakdown of the uncertainty around future rate cuts. Thanks for sharing these perspectives!
This was a great discussion.
It’s so important to look beyond the headlines and understand what really drives the Fed’s decisions.
Very insightful
Rate-cut forecasts often run ahead of reality. @The Fed’s path will depend on actual data, not market hope. Kaplan highlights exactly why traders should stay flexible instead of relying on fixed timelines.

2dWith services inflation still sticky and growth holding up better than expected, it makes sense that markets may be pricing in a faster easing cycle than the fundamentals support. The path of rate cuts in 2026 will depend heavily on how long the Fed keeps real rates restrictive.
