The Federal Reserve has signaled a reduced probability of further rate hikes post-September, indicating a potential end to the tightening cycle. However, Citi has revised its forecast, now expecting a 25bp hike in December due to persistent inflation. This creates uncertainty regarding the Fed's near-term monetary policy trajectory.
