Prime Rate Prediction

Prime Rate Forecast

As of right now, our odds are at 100% (certain) the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will vote to leave the target range for the benchmark fed funds rate at the current 0.00% - 0.25% at the June 16^TH, 2021 monetary policy meeting, and keep the United States Prime Rate (a.k.a Fed Prime Rate) at 3.25%.

Inflation News

Year-on-year, the Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) was a rather hot 3.0% last month. If inflation readings continue to cause concern, the Fed may decide to raise short-term rates by December of this year. But for now, it's still a safe bet that the Fed will keep rates as low as possible as the U.S. economy continues to strengthen.
