OECD Predicts Gradual Rate Cuts by Federal Reserve by 2026

According to BlockBeats, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) forecasts that the Federal Reserve will gradually reduce key interest rates to between 3.25% and 3.5% by the end of 2026. The OECD has revised its projection for U.S. economic growth in 2025 from 1.8% to 2%, and for 2026 from 1.5% to 1.7%. The OECD also warns that increased U.S. tariffs could slow global economic growth in 2026, and that U.S. fiscal policy is on an "unsustainable path." If trade barriers rise further, the global economic slowdown could worsen. Additionally, the expansion of the artificial intelligence investment boom could provide upward potential for global economic growth.
