Economists See Fed Holding Rates Through End-2027, Defying Investors

The gap between surveyed economists and market pricing is the real story: it signals genuine disagreement over the policy path, not just a timing mismatch, and that disagreement itself becomes a source of volatility across rate-sensitive crypto and RWA markets. The poll predates the latest inflation data, so the survey may already be stale, which weakens its weight as a signal. Whether investor positioning or the economist consensus converges after that data is the open question worth watching.
