Fed Meeting Today: Markets Brace for December 2025 Rate Cut Decision — What to Expect from Powell and the FOMC

The U.S. Federal Reserve begins its final policy meeting of 2025 today, Tuesday, December 9, with investors overwhelmingly betting on another interest rate cut and watching just as closely for clues about what happens to borrowing costs in 2026. The two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting runs December 9–10 and will conclude with a policy statement at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, followed by Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference. Federal Reserve+1 Markets are treating a small cut as almost a done deal. Futures tracked by the CME FedWatch tool imply roughly a 90% probability that policymakers will trim the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage point — a third straight reduction after cuts at the September and October meetings. That would move the target range from 3.75%–4.00% down to about 3.50%–3.75%. Investopedia+2NDTV Profit+2
