Nomura Securities: The Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged for the entire year, with a potential return to easing policy in the second quarter of 2026

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Nomura Securities analyst David Seif's team released the latest report indicating that the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in March has decreased, and it is expected that interest rates will remain unchanged throughout 2025. Although the U.S. economy remains strong in the short term, the trade policies of the Trump administration may lead to an economic slowdown. Tariff measures will affect consumer spending, and policy uncertainty will suppress business investment. Analysts expect that the Federal Reserve may restart easing policies in the second quarter of 2026 after inflation triggered by tariffs subsides.
