BUG: Unexpected rounding behaviour #60914

Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
print (pd.DataFrame([[-0.025]]).round(2).values)
print (pd.DataFrame([[-0.025001]]).round(2).values)
print (round(-0.025, 2))
print (round(-0.025001, 2))

#output:
#[[-0.02]]
#[[-0.03]]
#-0.03
#-0.03

Issue Description

I would expect all values to be -0.03 but pandas rounds -0.025 to -0.02. I suspect this is due to bankers rounding, which would be fine, but it also looks like pandas doesn't mimic the native python rounding behaviour, which rounds both to -0.03 - this might trip people up.

Expected Behavior

Round -0.025 to -0.03, or if this explicitly avoided as part of your rounding strategy, at least make your strategy match the python round function.
