Nomura joins global brokerages in forecasting Fed rate cut this week
Nomura joins peers in anticipating a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate cut amid dovish signals and mixed U.S. economic data, with markets pricing an 87% probability, CME FedWatch shows.
- On December 8, 2025, Nomura joined major banks in forecasting a quarter-point cut at this week's Fed meeting, reversing an earlier hold view as traders priced a high probability.

- A Reuters poll of 108 analysts found only 19 expecting no change, while Morgan Stanley reversed December calls, and the shutdown-driven data gap left traders a quiet runway.
- Stocks held steady while longer-dated Treasuries faced pressure and analysts such as Nabil Milali warned the Federal Open Market Committee meeting could see multiple dissents affecting the dollar and yields.
- With central banks in Europe and Switzerland set to act, Nomura projects further 25-basis-point cuts in 2026 as the SNB, BoE, and ECB monitor the Fed closely.
