Macquarie said it now expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in September 2026, moving its projected timing forward from an earlier call for a hike in December. The updated forecast shifts the expected start of tightening earlier but does not alter the firm’s later-rate view. Macquarie also said it still expects another 25-basis-point increase in the first quarter of 2027. The note, cited by BlockBeats on Sept. 7, points to a revised timeline rather than a change in the size of the expected moves. The forecast centers on two separate rate increases: one in September 2026 and another in Q1 2027.
