Further easing of at most 50 bps by year-end is still on the table, but the Fed will likely stay on the sidelines while the uncertainty around renewed immigration policies lingers and until it knows if Trump follows through on his plans to impose tariffs.

All but one FOMC member voted last week to continue removing monetary policy restriction through a 25bp cut, but the Fed also signaled a slower pace of further adjustments due to the incipient but increased uncertainty about inflation next year.

Activity advanced 3.4% year-on-year in October.

GDP will grow 2.5% in 2025 and 3.2% in 2026, driven by private consumption in durable goods, semi-durables, and services starting in 2026, and by fixed investment in infrastructure, machinery, and housing. Inflation will be 3.1% in 2026, with lower interest rates strengthening financial conditions.
