Federal Reserve Likely to Hold Rates Due to Inflation
The Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates this year due to persistent inflation pressures. Higher energy prices are expected to impact core inflation, limiting the Fed's options. Analysts suggest focusing on investments in the three to five-year range. As of March 31, 2026, the average interest rate for Treasury Bonds was recorded at 3.392%.
