On the 10th (local time), the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) indicated via the December dot plot that it could cut the policy rate by 25bp (0.25 percentage point) once each in 2026 and 2027.
The dot plot is a chart that plots participating FOMC members' projections of future policy rates as dots, and in this release it appeared to place weight on a gradual easing path for rates after next year.
Market participants note that, since the dot plot is used as a key reference for gauging the broad direction of future monetary policy, the actual timing and size of cuts could vary depending on future inflation trends, employment conditions, and financial market volatility.
