The Fed Will Pause in October, Then Hike in December

No change: leaning yes (72%)

A hold next month is no longer the whole story — a December hike is priced at 78% and the broader cycle points to at least one more increase this year, with cuts not entering the picture until mid-2027 at the earliest. The October pause, if it comes, is a breath, not a pivot.
