Williams told Bloomberg in an Oct. 13 interview that one more hike in 2026 is appropriate but he does not expect the Fed to raise rates again in 2027, a view Reuters also reported. The Fed raised its benchmark rate a quarter point to 3.75%–4.00% on Sept. 16, its first hike since July 2023, per CNBC. One more quarter-point move would reach 4.00%–4.25%, the year-end range Fed officials projected in September, per Reuters.

Williams does not expect the Fed to raise rates again in 2027.
A forecast explicitly attributed to Williams (Bloomberg interview, reported by Reuters). The claim that he said it is well supported, but it remains his projection.
