There are very high expectations among people and financial markets for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve at the end of October 2025 meeting.

Here's a breakdown of the expectations:

1. Market Probability: As of the information available in the search results (around mid-October 2025), the CME FedWatch Tool was indicating a probability of around 95% to 100% for a 25-basis-point rate cut at the October 28-29 meeting.

2. Analyst Consensus: Major financial institutions and economists are generally expecting the Fed to cut rates. Analysts from J.P. Morgan, UBS, and others have stated that remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and signs of a cooling labor market solidify the expectation for a cut in October.

3. Fed Communication: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and other officials have signaled concern over the slowdown in U.S. hiring and "downside risks to employment." Powell's previous rate cut in September was described as a "risk management cut" to prevent the economy from slowing too much, and he has implied that further cuts are likely.

In summary, based on market indicators and analyst consensus, a rate cut by the Federal Reserve at the end of October 2025 is overwhelmingly anticipated.
