#FOMCMeeting

#FOMCMeeting The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) holds a two-day meeting on Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7, 2025, where it is expected to keep interest rates unchanged in the current range of 4.25% to 4.50%.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is likely to reaffirm his stance on keeping rates steady, despite pressure from President Donald Trump and investors advocating for cuts to stimulate the economy. The Fed is cautious due to persistent inflation driven by new tariffs and the risks of stagflation.

Although some analysts anticipate possible rate cuts in the second half of the year, perhaps as early as July, the Fed has signaled that it will wait for clearer economic data before making decisions.

Powell's final decision and comments will be announced on Wednesday, May 7, at 2:00 p.m. Markets will be attentive to any indications of future monetary policy actions.
