  • Traders Price in Fed Rate Hike by December Amid Inflation Surge
    May 15, 2026, 2:25 PM EDT. Following a week of unexpectedly high inflation readings, traders in fed funds futures now expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates as soon as December 2025. According to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, the probability of a December hike stands at nearly 51%, rising to about 60% by January and exceeding 71% by March 2027. This shift marks the first time in the current cycle that markets anticipate a rate increase rather than a cut or pause. Inflation data showed consumer and wholesale prices hitting multi-year highs, reminiscent of the 2022 surge that triggered aggressive rate hikes. These developments add to uncertainty around Federal Reserve policy as former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh assumes leadership, suggesting potential for rate cuts despite recent data. Economists now forecast second-quarter inflation peaking at 6%, a significant revision upward.
