Restrictive macro/liquidity conditions persist through approximately mid-2026 (no clear macro-easing regime shift before ~June 2026).

Criterion met: restrictive macro/liquidity conditions persisted through ~mid-2026. The Fed paused easing in January 2026 and stayed on hold (3.5-3.75%) through the June meeting, actually tilting more hawkish by June rather than pivoting to easing.

Outcome evidence

  • J.P. Morgan / CNBC: The Fed held the federal funds rate at 3.50%-3.75% at its January 2026 meeting, pausing after three 2025 cuts (last cut Dec 2025), and remained on hold through the March and April 2026 meetings.

    Evidence

  • CNBC (June 17, 2026): Fed held rates at 3.5%-3.75% at new Chair Kevin Warsh's first meeting and shifted notably hawkish — erased the earlier indication of a 2026 cut, pushed reductions into 2027-2028, and nodded to possible hikes amid an inflation spike tied to the Iran war / higher oil. No macro-easing regime shift occurred before mid-2026.
