⏳ Countdown to the Fed’s Big Decision: What’s Next?
The Federal Reserve’s May meeting is just around the corner, and all eyes are on Chair Jerome Powell. With the federal funds rate currently at 4.25%–4.50%, the consensus is that rates will remain unchanged this time.  
Despite calls from the White House and Wall Street for rate cuts, Powell is expected to maintain a cautious stance. The economy is sending mixed signals: while job growth remains solid, recent tariffs have introduced uncertainties, potentially impacting inflation and overall economic stability.  
Markets are speculating about possible rate cuts later this year, possibly starting in July or December, depending on how economic indicators evolve. 
As the countdown continues, investors are advised to stay informed and prepared for potential market shifts following the Fed’s announcement.
