  • Fed's Anticipated 2026 Rate Cuts Signal Bullish Outlook for Stocks
    January 25, 2026, 8:31 PM EST. The Federal Reserve plans to lower interest rates by about 75 basis points in 2026, aligning with market expectations. Falling rates traditionally boost stocks by encouraging economic growth, despite the risk of rising inflation. Current U.S. data shows moderate 2.7% inflation and robust 4.3% GDP growth in Q3, with forecasts of 2.5% growth for 2026, suggesting rate cuts might not be strictly necessary. Still, optimism prevails: analysts expect the S&P 500 to climb 12% by year-end 2026, supported by an 18% earnings growth, particularly in tech. Risks remain, notably if growth falters or the Fed refrains from easing as expected. Goldman Sachs remains confident that such risks are unlikely soon, underpinning a broadly bullish market stance.
