What happened
John Williams, President of the New York Federal Reserve, stated that the U.S. central bank may need to raise interest rates one more time in 2026 to lower inflation. He also confirmed his role as vice chair of the Federal Open Market Committee. Meanwhile, futures traders are now pricing in only a 20% probability of a rate hike at the Fed's October 27-28 meeting, a sharp drop from 71%.

Why it matters
Williams's comments reflect ongoing debates about inflation and economic health, as the Fed raised its policy rate last month to the 3.75%-4.00% range. The shift in market expectations is linked to a weaker-than-expected September employment report and signs that consumer inflation is cooling.
