Morgan Stanley recently reversed its prior view and now expects Federal Reserve (the Fed) to cut interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) at its December 2025 meeting.
✅ Morgan Stanley had previously assumed no rate cut for December. But after a wave of “dovish” signals from several Fed officials, plus softer U.S. economic/labor data in recent weeks, the firm reversed course — saying it “jumped the gun.” Now they anticipate a 25 bps cut in December 2025, followed by further cuts in January and April 2026 — bringing their projected terminal fed funds rate to roughly 3.0%–3.25%. 📊 The odds of a December cut, according to the CME Group FedWatch tool, are now priced at over 87 %. Other major firms — such as J.P. Morgan and Bank of America Global Research — have also adjusted their forecasts to expect a December rate cut.
