76% of survey respondents stated they expect no Federal Reserve interest rate hike at the 2025-10-28 policy meeting.[^1]

Gold prices rose while oil prices and the US dollar retreated. Expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate hike this month remained moderate pending key US inflation data.[^2]

Vincent Mortier, group CIO of France's Amundi, stated on 12 April 2026 that an impending US Federal Reserve rate pause combined with India's superior debt and growth metrics will drive global investors back to emerging markets.[^3]

Observed asset moves appear to align with these moderate rate expectations.
