Commerzbank: Expects the Fed to hold rates steady and likely abandons its dovish language. Rate cuts are expected to begin around mid-next year, accumulating to 75 basis point cuts by the end of 2027. Rate Hike Camp: 1.

Barclays: Expects the Fed to hold rates steady, with forward guidance wording likely to be removed from the statement to reduce implications for future rate cuts. 2.
