I would say the logic would be to stay flat or drop a little in the next year.
However that San Francisco squrriel Nancy Pol. and the Leftist Democrats will start running the presses and watering down the money and running the interest much higher, via inflation.
In the Jimmy Carter administration the Demos ran it to 18%, but it was just inflationary false gains to fool the more naive Americans into thinking there was a better economy-- when in fact it was really dismal.

I suspect they will remain flat, perhaps dropping slightly.

The purpose of raising them is to combat inflation. Yes, we've had inflation, but mostly it's been oil driven. The Fed raising rates will not have any effect on oil prices. So unless they see the core inflation rate rising, excluding energy and food, they won't be raising it.

The economy has been gradually slowing a bit, and that should cool any core inflation a bit. If the economy continues to cool, the Fed may sneak down interest rates a 1/4 or 1/2 a point.

Current indications are that they will remain the same in the near future, and drop 1/4% within the next 6 months.

Barring any significant economic or world events, they are expected to be flat to off a half point.
