As expected, the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the December 2024 meeting but sent a strong message that the inflation fight is far from over in the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP). In the SEP, FOMC participants made material revisions, including pushing back the timing of a return to the 2-percent inflation target from 2026 to 2027 and slowing the pace of interest rate cuts. Additionally, the cutting cycle may not end until sometime in 2027 or even later, not in 2026.
