Goldman Sachs sees first Fed rate cut in December 2026; crypto outlook unclear
Goldman Sachs has pushed back its expected timing for the U.S. Federal Reserve’s next rate cuts to December 2026 and March 2027, citing inflation likely to remain above the 2 percent target.

The shift could weigh on crypto by reducing liquidity and supporting the dollar, though Bitcoin could diverge if inflation pressures intensify.
