#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting began May 6, 2025, with a decision expected Wednesday.

Experts predict the Federal Reserve will maintain the federal funds rate at 4.25%-4.50%, unchanged since December, amid President Trump’s tariff policies stirring economic uncertainty.

Investors are focused on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s post-meeting press conference for hints on future rate cuts, with markets anticipating a possible reduction in June.

Concerns over tariff-driven inflation and slower growth dominate discussions, as Wall Street parses the FOMC statement for clues on navigating these challenges. The meeting’s outcome will significantly impact borrowing costs and economic outlook.
