$XAU Markets Are Placing Odds of Fed Interest Rate Cuts in 2026 at Only 24.8% Data from Kashi has just revealed a bleak picture for expectations of monetary easing this year. 🔸 The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates once (25 basis points) in 2026 is only 24.8%, a low figure indicating that confidence in easing policy is very fragile. 🔸 Meanwhile, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged is as high as 40.9%, overwhelmingly dominant. The probability of two cuts (a total of 50 basis points) is only 17%. With the market increasingly leaning towards the "higher for longer" scenario, should you prepare for a prolonged high-interest rate environment, or still expect a surprise reversal from the Fed in the second half of the year?
