The last two Fed easing cycles ended at 0%. This cycle feels different. While uncertainty still looms, the FOMC median dot plot and fed funds futures markets have the Fed Funds rate targeted close to 4% upper bound by year-end. The deposit relief that many were hoping for in 2025 may be further delayed. Competition will remain stiff, and growth may be tough to come by.
