# Will the Fed Hold in July 2026 or Signal a September Cut

At the upcoming July 2026 FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve is almost universally expected to hold the benchmark interest rate steady at a target range of 3.50% to 3.75%. However, beneath this surface-level pause, newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will likely use the meeting to signal whether a persistent, oil-driven inflation shock will delay future easing indefinitely, or if a softening labor market justifies a highly anticipated pivot toward a rate cut by September.

To the average consumer, the esoteric monetary policy debates held inside the Eccles Building in Washington, D.C., can often feel hopelessly disconnected from daily life. Yet, the outcomes of the July 2026 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting will dictate the financial realities for millions of households. To understand why 2026 rate projections matter, it is crucial to understand what the federal funds rate actually is: the wholesale price of money. When the Federal Reserve adjusts its benchmark rate, it is essentially setting the baseline cost for commercial banks to borrow from one another overnight. Much like a grocery store passes the wholesale cost of agricultural produce onto the shopper, commercial banks pass the wholesale cost of money onto the consumer. They do this by raising the annual percentage yields (APYs) they offer on certificates of deposit (CDs) to attract capital, and by raising the interest rates they charge on credit cards, personal loans, and auto loans to maintain their profit margins. 

A persistent and common misconception is that the Federal Reserve directly sets the 30-year fixed mortgage rate. In reality, the Fed has no direct control over consumer mortgage pricing. Instead, 30-year mortgage rates loosely track the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which fluctuates daily based on global investor sentiment, inflation expectations, and long-term economic outlooks [cite: 1, 2]. However, the Fed's forward guidance—its signaling of where the wholesale price of money will be in the future—heavily influences those 10-year Treasury yields. Therefore, whether the Fed decides to hold rates in July or telegraph a September cut will immediately ripple through the bond market, directly dictating whether a prospective homebuyer locks in a mortgage at 6.4% or 5.9% by the end of the year [cite: 1, 2, 3].

## The July 2026 Setup: A Guaranteed Pause Amidst Deep Internal Division

Heading into the summer of 2026, financial markets have almost entirely priced out the possibility of an immediate interest rate cut. According to data derived from federal funds futures trading via the CME FedWatch Tool, markets entered the summer pricing in a 97.3% to 99.3% probability that the Fed would leave rates unchanged at 3.50% to 3.75% during its June meeting [cite: 4, 5, 6]. Looking ahead to the July FOMC meeting, the probability of a continued hold remains dominant at 84.8%, with only a 14.8% chance of a modest 25-basis-point reduction and a negligible 0.3% chance of a 50-basis-point hike [cite: 4]. Advanced scenario modeling echoes this sentiment, assigning an overwhelming 93% probability that the Fed holds rates through the early summer [cite: 7].

The rationale for this extended pause is multifaceted, deeply intertwined with shifting macroeconomic currents and a historic transition of institutional power. Following the expiration of Jerome Powell’s tenure, Kevin Warsh was sworn in as the 17th Chair of the Federal Reserve on May 22, 2026, at the White House—the first Fed chair swearing-in held there since Alan Greenspan in 1987 [cite: 8, 9]. Confirmed by the Senate in a narrow 54-45 vote, marking the closest confirmation in the modern era, Warsh inherits an incredibly complex monetary environment [cite: 8]. The July meeting serves as his first major test of leadership, where he must navigate an increasingly fractured committee and intense political pressure from the Trump administration, which has vocally demanded lower interest rates [cite: 8, 9, 10].

Warsh takes the helm of a committee that has recently moved meaningfully in a hawkish direction. The April FOMC minutes revealed a stark departure from previous guidance. Language that historically emphasized the Fed's "nimbleness" and flexibility in responding to incoming data was replaced by rigid wording indicating that persistently elevated inflation, compounded by geopolitical shocks, could require keeping policy restrictive for much longer than previously anticipated [cite: 11]. In an unusual display of division that undermines the consensus-driven legacy of the Powell era, four members dissented at the April meeting [cite: 8, 10]. Three committee members dissented specifically in favor of removing the statement's residual easing bias altogether, while a majority of participants noted that actual policy firming—meaning rate hikes—would likely become appropriate if inflation continued to run above the 2% target [cite: 11]. 

Warsh himself brings a unique philosophical approach to the chairmanship. He has signaled a desire to fundamentally reform the Fed's communication strategy, primarily by moving away from backward-looking economic dogmas and heavily downplaying the importance of forward guidance [cite: 9]. There is active speculation in financial markets that Warsh may even attempt to eliminate or sideline the publication of the "Dot Plot" interest-rate forecasts in the Summary of Economic Projections to prevent the FOMC from being painted into perceived policy corners [cite: 9]. Consequently, fixed-income markets are bracing for elevated volatility, as the absence of clear forward guidance leaves traders heavily dependent on individual, high-frequency data releases like the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index [cite: 9, 10].

### The Dovish Dissent: The Argument for Immediate Relief

While the committee's center of gravity has shifted hawkish, a vocal dovish minority is sounding the alarm on the labor market. Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran has emerged as the principal advocate for immediate and aggressive easing, publicly calling for up to 150 basis points of interest-rate cuts before the end of 2026 to safeguard employment [cite: 12, 13]. Miran argues that current monetary policy is excessively restrictive and that the central bank is running completely unnecessary risks with the livelihoods of American workers. By his estimation, there are approximately one million Americans who could be securely employed without triggering any unwanted demand-side inflation [cite: 12, 13].

Miran’s technical argument rests on the assertion that underlying inflation is already near the Fed’s 2% target when stripped of statistical anomalies. He contends that the headline inflation data is being artificially inflated by two specific measurement quirks. First, the shelter component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is heavily lagged, reflecting the housing market realities of 2022 and 2023 rather than current conditions [cite: 14]. Second, portfolio management services are a component of the core inflation basket; because these fees rise mechanically alongside a booming stock market, the AI-driven equities rally has mathematically contributed roughly 36 basis points to core inflation, far above the historical norm of six basis points [cite: 14]. When these distortions are removed, Miran argues that market-based core inflation is running at an entirely manageable 2.2%, meaning the Fed is forcing labor market pain to fight a statistical phantom [cite: 14]. 

## What do current forecasts say about 2026?

To accurately project whether the Fed will signal a rate cut for September 2026, analysts must synthesize the Federal Reserve's internal projections with independent macroeconomic modeling from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and major Wall Street institutions. 

### The Federal Reserve's Summary of Economic Projections

The most recent authoritative Summary of Economic Projections (SEP)—the Dot Plot—released at the March 2026 meeting, revealed a committee expecting an end-of-year federal funds rate of 3.4% [cite: 15, 16]. Given the current rate sits between 3.50% and 3.75%, the median consensus explicitly penciled in roughly one more 25-basis-point cut before the close of 2026 [cite: 16]. The committee projected rates to end 2027 at 3.125%, a figure that aligns perfectly with the newly upgraded "long-run" neutral rate [cite: 15, 16, 17]. 

This upward revision of the long-run neutral rate—the theoretical interest rate that neither stimulates nor restricts economic activity—from 3.0% to 3.125% is one of the most significant monetary developments of the year [cite: 16, 17]. For nearly a decade, the Fed's estimate of the long-run neutral rate hovered around 2.5%, anchored by assumptions of sluggish productivity and aging demographics. The recent bump reflects a profound shift in the Fed's assessment of the structural economy. Officials, including former Chair Powell, have attributed this elevated neutral rate to soaring expectations for worker productivity, driven largely by the massive capital expenditure buildout of artificial intelligence data centers [cite: 10, 17]. A higher neutral rate implies that the U.S. economy can structurally sustain higher borrowing costs over the next decade without tipping into a recession, effectively raising the floor for where interest rates will eventually settle.

### The Fiscal Reality: The Congressional Budget Office Outlook

While the Fed focuses on productivity, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) offers a deeply sobering view of the nation's fiscal trajectory, which heavily constraints the central bank's ability to lower rates. In its updated 2026-2034 economic outlook, the CBO projects that federal budget deficits will total a staggering $20 trillion over the coming decade, with the deficit for fiscal year 2026 alone reaching $1.9 trillion, equivalent to roughly 5.8% to 5.9% of the nation's GDP [cite: 18, 19, 20]. The CBO warns that total debt held by the public will climb from nearly $31 trillion today to $56 trillion by 2036, pushing the debt-to-GDP ratio to an unprecedented 120% [cite: 18, 19, 20, 21].

The CBO's economic projections incorporate the estimated effects of sweeping recent policy changes, most notably the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), combined with aggressive new tariffs and restrictive changes in immigration [cite: 21, 22]. While the CBO estimates that the OBBBA will provide a "sugar high" stimulus that boosts real GDP growth to 2.2% in 2026, it warns that the combination of these three policies will structurally boost overall price levels across the economy [cite: 21, 22]. As a direct consequence of exploding interest costs and record debt issuance, the CBO forecasts that 10-year Treasury yields will remain stubbornly high, averaging 4.1% in 2026 and climbing to 4.4% by the 2031-2035 period [cite: 20, 21, 22]. This tidal wave of sovereign debt issuance creates a crowding-out effect in credit markets, forcing interest rates higher regardless of the Fed's baseline policy decisions.

### Institutional Divergence

Major Wall Street institutions remain deeply divided on how these conflicting forces will resolve in 2026. Goldman Sachs Research leans optimistic, anticipating sturdy global growth of 2.8% in 2026, with the U.S. substantially outperforming consensus forecasts at 2.6% GDP growth [cite: 23]. Goldman's chief economists argue that the U.S. economy will benefit significantly from tax cuts and easier overall financial conditions, while the inflationary drag from tariffs will ultimately prove to be a one-time step adjustment in price levels rather than a continuous inflationary spiral [cite: 23, 24, 25]. 

Consequently, Goldman Sachs believes the Fed has ample room to execute a rate cut in September, noting that the odds of a September reduction sit "somewhat above" 50% [cite: 25]. They project the Fed will follow a September action with additional 25-basis-point cuts in October and December, driving the terminal rate down to a range of 3.0% to 3.25% by mid-2027 [cite: 25, 26]. Conversely, analysts at institutions like J.P. Morgan and Vanguard warn that persistent geopolitical shocks and sticky services inflation could force a prolonged period of policy inertia, pushing the timeline for any rate cuts well into 2027 [cite: 27, 28]. 

## The Stagflationary Threat: The Middle East Energy Shock

Any baseline forecast for a September rate cut is heavily contingent on the resolution—or at least the stabilization—of the ongoing global energy crisis. In early 2026, an escalation of the war involving Iran resulted in the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint responsible for routing approximately 20% of the world's commercial oil and 21% of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) [cite: 17, 29, 30]. 

The International Energy Agency (IEA) swiftly characterized the blockade as the "largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market" [cite: 29, 30]. The immediate supply shock pushed Brent crude oil prices above $110 to $120 per barrel, echoing the severe energy crises of the 1970s and creating a classic stagflationary environment—where economic growth slows just as inflation accelerates [cite: 27, 29, 30]. While efforts to resume Iraqi oil exports through Türkiye provided marginal relief, they could not replace the sheer volume of hydrocarbons stranded in the Persian Gulf [cite: 29].

In the United States, this energy shock quickly permeated the broader economy. The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) accelerated to 3.8% in April 2026, its highest level since May 2023 [cite: 10, 31]. Energy costs alone surged 17.9% year-over-year, driven by massive spikes in gasoline and fuel oil [cite: 31]. More alarmingly for the Federal Reserve, the shock did not remain contained to the energy sector. The Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index—the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, which explicitly strips out volatile food and energy to measure underlying trends—rose to 3.3% year-over-year in April [cite: 32]. FOMC officials noted in their April minutes that elevated fuel costs were rapidly feeding through the supply chain, embedding themselves into shipping rates, airfares, and fertilizer prices [cite: 11]. 

Macroeconomic modelers at Principal Asset Management note that if Brent crude stabilizes in the $90–$115 range through the summer, the resulting inflationary pressure will force central banks into agonizing trade-offs [cite: 33]. In a "medium adverse" scenario, prolonged energy price pressures sharpen the inflation-growth dilemma, requiring a more restrictive monetary stance at a direct cost to employment [cite: 33]. This dynamic is the primary reason fixed-income markets have almost entirely priced out immediate rate cuts, fearing that easing policy amid an active supply shock would disastrously un-anchor long-term inflation expectations [cite: 11]. 

## The Labor Market Tightrope and Technological Unemployment

The primary opposing force compelling the Federal Reserve to consider a September rate cut is an underlying fragility in the U.S. labor market, which currently remains masked by seemingly stable headline statistics. As of April 2026, the official U.S. unemployment rate remained relatively healthy at 4.3%, where it has hovered with remarkable stability [cite: 28, 34]. Furthermore, the highly anticipated May non-farm payrolls report is expected to show job growth slowing to a range of 85,000 to 96,000—a noticeable deceleration from previous months, but certainly not indicative of an outright recessionary contraction [cite: 35, 36]. 

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh faces a polarized economic landscape, balancing the inflationary pressures of a global energy crisis against structural weaknesses emerging in the white-collar labor market. Data highlights this stark macroeconomic tug-of-war: while headline CPI inflation has re-accelerated to 3.8%, the unemployment rate for college graduates aged 20 to 24 has simultaneously spiked to 8.5%.

This divergence between headline stability and underlying weakness is driven by a profound, generational structural shift: the rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence into the corporate workflow. Research from Goldman Sachs estimates that up to 300 million jobs globally are exposed to AI automation, with AI potentially automating tasks that currently account for 25% of all work hours in the United States [cite: 37]. While AI is driving a historic capital expenditure boom and creating hundreds of thousands of new roles in physical infrastructure—such as construction workers, electricians, and engineers needed for the data center buildout—it is simultaneously displacing workers in knowledge, creative, and administrative fields [cite: 28, 37]. 

Crucially, the impact of AI on the labor market in 2026 is manifesting not through catastrophic mass layoffs, but through a "quiet" hiring freeze, disproportionately impacting junior and entry-level talent [cite: 38]. Companies are delaying recruitment while they evaluate how AI changes their long-term staffing needs. A comprehensive study by Anthropic and the National Bureau of Economic Research found that while there has been no immediate spike in unemployment for senior workers in AI-exposed occupations, hiring into those exact professions has slowed significantly for workers aged 22 to 25 [cite: 39, 40]. The data corroborates this: the unemployment rate for college graduates aged 20 to 24 has climbed to 8.5%, a staggering 70% increase from its 2022 lows [cite: 26]. 

However, corporate patience appears to be thinning. Major enterprise technology firms, including Meta, Cisco, and Intuit, announced combined job cuts exceeding tens of thousands of workers in mid-2026, explicitly citing a strategic reallocation of capital toward artificial intelligence initiatives [cite: 38, 40]. The "Sahm Rule"—a highly accurate historical recession indicator that triggers when the three-month average unemployment rate rises 0.5 percentage points above its 12-month low—has not yet been officially breached, but J.P. Morgan's Chief U.S. Economist Michael Feroli notes that the labor market's margin for error is rapidly shrinking [cite: 28]. It is this precise, stealthy deterioration in hiring velocity that Governor Miran points to when demanding preemptive rate cuts, arguing that waiting for headline job losses to materialize is a catastrophic policy error that risks triggering a broad economic recession [cite: 12, 13].

## Global Ripple Effects: The ECB and Emerging Markets

While the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve dominate global financial media, American monetary policy does not exist in a vacuum. A decision by Kevin Warsh and the FOMC to hold rates "higher for longer" in the United States while other sovereign nations ease policy carries profound consequences for international currency markets and global debt stability.

### Divergence with the European Central Bank (ECB)

The economic realities facing the United States and the Eurozone have decoupled significantly over the past two years. Prior to the severe escalation of the Middle East conflict, the Eurozone had largely tamed its domestic inflation crisis, driven primarily by an anemic German economy and distinct labor market dynamics that lack the robust consumer spending engine seen in the U.S. [cite: 43]. Consequently, the European Central Bank (ECB) acted aggressively, declaring an early victory over inflation and cutting its deposit facility rate down to 2.0% by the end of 2025, where it has remained [cite: 43, 44]. 

This stark policy divergence—the Fed maintaining rates near 3.75% while the ECB sits comfortably at 2.0%—has profound implications for the foreign exchange market. The sizable yield advantage in the United States attracts global capital seeking higher, risk-free returns, which systematically drives up the value of the U.S. dollar against the euro [cite: 44, 45, 46]. As long as the Fed holds steady, the dollar retains this powerful "carry advantage." 

However, if the Fed utilizes the July meeting to explicitly signal a September rate cut, the interest rate differential between the two blocs will begin to compress. Financial institutions forecast that as the Fed eases toward a neutral stance while the ECB remains cautious, the EUR/USD pair is likely to trade within a broad $1.12 to $1.20 range, providing a gentle bullish bias for the euro through the end of 2026 [cite: 45, 46]. This currency stabilization is vital for Europe, as a stronger euro helps offset the imported cost of dollar-denominated energy products during the ongoing oil shock.

### The Strain on Emerging Market Debt

A prolonged hold by the Federal Reserve, combined with the geopolitical fallout of the Iran war, presents a dual, compounding threat to emerging market (EM) economies. Historically, when U.S. interest rates remain elevated, emerging markets suffer as international capital flees riskier sovereign debt in favor of high-yielding, safe-haven U.S. Treasuries [cite: 47, 48]. Furthermore, because global commodities like oil and natural gas are exclusively priced in U.S. dollars, a strong dollar makes energy imports devastatingly expensive for developing nations, accelerating capital flight and depleting foreign exchange reserves.

The ongoing energy shock has amplified these exact vulnerabilities. Fitch Ratings notes that the rising geopolitical risk premium, alongside potential shifts in U.S. trade policy and aggressive tariffs, has sharply heightened credit risks for EM borrowers [cite: 49]. Elevated borrowing costs are forcing many EM high-yield issuers to limit their activity strictly to refinancing existing debt rather than securing new capital for economic development [cite: 50].

However, despite these severe macro headwinds, emerging markets are arguably entering this crisis with thicker financial armor than in previous decades. Several EM central banks—particularly in nations like Brazil, Colombia, South Africa, and Hungary—proactively raised interest rates very early in the post-pandemic inflation cycle, long before the Federal Reserve [cite: 47]. This preemptive tightening means these nations currently possess high real interest rates and solid external balance sheets [cite: 47, 48]. Investment managers at Schroders and State Street Global Advisors assert that this adherence to "policy orthodoxy" provides a significant structural buffer against the current stagflationary shock [cite: 47, 48].

While a U.S. rate cut in September would certainly trigger a massive relief rally in EM hard currency debt, the asset class remains surprisingly resilient even in a "higher for longer" Fed scenario. High-yielding oil credits, such as sovereign bonds from Nigeria, Angola, Ecuador, and Venezuela, are actively expected to generate handsome returns as they benefit directly from the elevated crude prices caused by the Middle East crisis, offsetting the pain of a strong U.S. dollar [cite: 47, 48]. 

## What this means for your wallet

Macroeconomic debates over basis points, terminal rates, and geopolitical supply chains ultimately translate into tangible, immediate impacts on consumer balance sheets. Depending on whether you are a borrower seeking credit to finance a large purchase or a saver hoarding cash, the Fed's July 2026 forward guidance dictates completely opposing financial strategies.

### For Borrowers: Mortgages and Auto Loans

For families looking to finance a home, the environment remains historically unforgiving, but a faint, highly conditional light is emerging at the end of the tunnel. As of May 2026, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits at 6.37% [cite: 1]. Because mortgage rates are inextricably linked to the 10-year Treasury yield, the "spread" between the two remains unusually wide [cite: 1, 2]. Historically, the spread between the 10-year Treasury and the 30-year mortgage rate averages between 1.5% and 1.7% (150 to 170 basis points); today, that spread frequently exceeds 218 basis points [cite: 1, 2]. Mortgage lenders are currently padding their rates to protect themselves against the extreme volatility brought on by the Iran war, domestic fiscal deficits, and the unpredictable nature of Fed policy [cite: 1, 2]. 

If Chair Kevin Warsh utilizes the July meeting to explicitly signal a September rate cut, bond markets will instantly price in that future easing. The 10-year Treasury yield will drop in anticipation, and mortgage rates will compress downward weeks before the Fed actually executes its official move. Major institutions reflect this measured, tepid optimism in their 2026 forecasts: Fannie Mae projects the 30-year fixed rate will gradually ease to 6.1% by the fourth quarter of 2026, while the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) forecasts a highly conservative average of 6.0% to 6.4% to close out the year [cite: 1, 2, 3]. Morgan Stanley offers an outlier, highly optimistic view, suggesting a temporary dip into the 5.50% to 5.75% range by mid-year, though this requires inflation to plummet significantly faster than is currently expected [cite: 1].

[image delta #2, 0 bytes]

 



**The Takeaway for Borrowers:** The easiest phase of mortgage rate relief is entirely behind us [cite: 2]. Buyers who possess strong credit profiles and can currently qualify for rates in the low 6% range should seriously weigh the benefits of locking in their financing now. Waiting for sub-6% rates carries immense timing risk; the geopolitical shocks of early 2026 proved that rates can violently spike 59 basis points in a matter of five weeks, instantly erasing months of gradual, painstaking declines [cite: 1]. For existing homeowners, refinancing generally only makes mathematical sense if your current rate is at least 0.75% to 1.0% higher than the prevailing market rate—meaning only those who originated mortgages at the absolute peak in 2023 (above 7.37%) should currently be evaluating refinancing options [cite: 1]. 

### For Savers: Certificates of Deposit (CDs)

Conversely, the prevailing macroeconomic environment has been incredibly lucrative for savers. Throughout 2025 and into 2026, yields on Certificates of Deposit (CDs) provided exceptional, entirely risk-free returns. As of mid-2026, highly competitive online banking institutions are offering 1-year CDs with APYs as high as 4.84%, and shorter-term 6-month CDs yielding up to 4.94% [cite: 51, 52]. 

However, this golden era for cash investments is rapidly nearing its twilight. If the Fed signals an impending rate cut at the July FOMC meeting, banks will not wait for the actual September meeting to adjust their deposit rates; they will proactively slash APYs on CDs and high-yield savings accounts to protect their future profit margins [cite: 51, 53]. Experts tracking Federal Reserve policy project a continued downward drift for CD yields through 2026. Bankrate forecasts that the national average for a 1-year CD could slip to 1.8% by year-end, with even the absolute highest promotional rates capping out around 3.5% [cite: 51, 53]. 

To put this into tangible terms: if you deposit $10,000 into a 1-year CD today at a 4.20% APY, you will earn roughly $420 in interest over the next 12 months [cite: 51]. If you wait for the Fed to cut rates and secure that same CD at a 3.25% APY later in the year, you will earn only $325—forfeiting nearly $100 in risk-free earnings simply due to poor timing [cite: 51].

**The Takeaway for Savers:** The opportunity cost of waiting is exceptionally high. Securing a 1-year CD at roughly 4.8% today effectively locks in a return that comfortably outpaces the current 3.8% inflation rate, actively growing your real purchasing power [cite: 31, 52]. With the Fed widely expected to cut rates at least once, if not multiple times by the end of 2027, locking in multi-year CDs (currently yielding up to 4.25% for a 2-year term) acts as a vital insurance policy against future central bank easing cycles [cite: 52]. 

## Bottom line

The Federal Reserve is effectively guaranteed to hold interest rates steady at a target range of 3.50% to 3.75% at the July 2026 FOMC meeting. However, the true significance of this summer meeting lies in the forward guidance provided by the newly minted Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh. The FOMC is currently trapped between two severely colliding macroeconomic forces: an external stagflationary shock driven by the Middle East energy crisis that is pushing domestic inflation upward, and an internal structural shift driven by artificial intelligence that is quietly, but persistently, cooling white-collar labor demand. If inflation shows clear signs of stabilizing despite the ongoing oil shock, the Fed is highly likely to utilize July's communications to lay the necessary groundwork for a 25-basis-point rate cut in September. For consumers, the window to optimize their finances is narrowing. Borrowers must remain hyper-vigilant, recognizing that mortgage rates are unlikely to plummet back to pandemic-era lows, while savers should urgently consider locking in peak CD yields before the anticipated September rate cut removes the opportunity entirely.
