UBS Adjusts Interest Rate Forecast Amid Inflation Concerns

UBS Global Wealth Management has revised its U.S. interest rate cut predictions, aligning with other brokerages due to persistent inflation and a robust labor market.

The change comes as inflation hits a three-year high, driven by energy prices and a protracted war in Iran, diminishing hopes for near-term rate cuts.

Despite continued job growth and stable unemployment rates, UBS foresees rate cuts in late 2026 and early 2027, diverging from earlier expectations for this year.
