#FOMCMeeting

The FOMC meeting will take place over two days, on May 6 and 7, 2025, and the monetary policy decision will be announced on Wednesday, May 7, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Markets widely anticipate that the Fed will keep its benchmark interest rate in the current range. However, the real key will be in the subsequent statement and in the remarks of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, as they will provide clues about the future direction of monetary policy.

A more hawkish tone from the Fed could put downward pressure on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, as it would imply tighter financial conditions. On the other hand, a more dovish tone, although less likely in this meeting, could boost risk assets by suggesting possible relief in the future.
