2026.06.1718:00:00UTC+00Fed Watch: US Interest Rate Projection Edges Up to 3.8% in Q2 2026

The United States interest rate projection has risen in the second quarter of 2026, signaling a modest tightening in expectations for future borrowing costs. The projected rate climbed to 3.8% in Q2 2026, up from 3.4% in the first quarter of the year.

The previous projection of 3.4% was recorded in Q1 2026, and the latest adjustment to 3.8% was confirmed for Q2 2026. This shift suggests that market or policymaker expectations for the interest rate path have become slightly more hawkish over the course of the year.

According to the latest update on 17 June 2026, the new 3.8% level reflects the most recent available data, offering investors and businesses an updated benchmark for planning financing, investment, and savings decisions in the quarters ahead.
