Trump Pressures Fed to Slash Rates to 1% — Here’s What That Would Actually Mean for You

"Well, according to the Fed's own projections, their dot plot, they expect rates to gradually come down to about 3.5% by the end of 2026."

"A Morning Star, for example, sees the federal funds rate falling to 2.5 or 3% so long as inflation continues to cool and growth remains modest."

"Maybe we'll see rates get down to 3 and a.5% or even lower by the end of 2026. It's gradual and it'll only happen if inflation stays under control."

"This might mean mortgage rates would ease to 5 1/2 or 6%."

"Stocks might remain stable or even increase."

"Savers will still lag behind as interest rates would come down on these guaranteed accounts."
