WHAT'S IMPORTANT NOW
SPRING 2026
​
Week of March 15, 2026
​
Two long months have passed since the Fed last met to review and set the federal funds rate. Since their last meeting in January, the US/Israel conflict with Iran has cast doubt on Federal Reserve projections, with the price of a barrel of oil eclipsing $100 for the first time in 3 years (see chart below) and the price of a gallon of gasoline exceeding $3.60.
The Fed opted to keep rates unchanged at 3.5 - 3.75% citing uncertain markets during uncertain times, explicitly pointing out that forecasting the future and modeling policy is nearly impossible while the US engages with Iran.
The uncertainty also appeared in the Fed dot plot which pointed to one cut in 2026. However, there was little consensus on how to get there as one Fed official suggested a hike was in order while another indicated 5 rate cuts.
