New York Federal Reserve President John Williams said Tuesday that he doesn't see additional rate hikes in 2027 after one more increase this year.

"I haven't changed my view that it may be appropriate to have one more rate hike," Williams said in an interview with Bloomberg News. "I don't think at this time I have any reason to believe that we would need to do more."

Williams' comments place him at odds with the market and some other members of the central bank.

Fed funds futures traders are largely betting that the central bank will raise rates at least once in 2027, according to CME's FedWatch data as of Tuesday. Latest trading gave about 90% odds that the Fed overnight rate would end 2027 at least a half percentage point higher than where it is today.

The New York Fed head is also at odds with many Federal Open Market Committee members, though he is still in-line with the majority. Eight of the 18 who gave a rate forecast for 2027 see one more increase after an additional hike this year. Williams is a permanent voting member of FOMC, the body that decides where interest rates should be set at each Fed policy gathering.

The Fed in September issued its first rate increase since 2023. Fed officials indicated plans for another hike in meeting minutes, but did not clarify when. The central bank meets at the end of this month and then one more time in December.

To be sure, Williams told Bloomberg that "we'll have to see" when it comes to forecasting into the new year.

"This economy is being affected by lots of different influences, and we just have to keep watching the data," Williams said.
