UBS Global Wealth Management has pushed back its Fed rate‑cut forecast to March
and June 2027 and no longer expects cuts this year. UBS now sees two 25bp cuts
in Mar and Jun 2027, versus prior calls for 25bp cuts in Dec 2026 and Mar 2027.
In a June 15 note UBS said this change reflects its view that the upcoming Fed
meeting — the first under new chair Wash — will convey a more hawkish tone and
that markets broadly expect rates to be left unchanged. UBS added major central
banks are unlikely to pivot dovish even if a US‑Iran deal is reached, and will
likely remain cautious as energy shocks and coming data could trigger
second‑round inflation pressures.
