Today and Tomorrow (May 6 and 7, 2025) the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the U.S. Federal Reserve will make a decision regarding interest rates. Projections indicate that the central bank will keep the interest rate unchanged within the current range of 4.25% to 4.50%, amidst ongoing uncertainty about the impact of new tariffs on the U.S. economy.

Key Updates:

1- High likelihood of keeping rates unchanged: The "CME FedWatch" tool indicates that the probability of a rate cut at this meeting does not exceed 1.8%, reinforcing expectations of keeping rates stable.

2- Political pressures without response: Despite President Trump's repeated calls to lower interest rates to support economic growth, the Federal Reserve remains cautious, citing inflation risks arising from new tariffs.

3- Market anticipation: Markets, including cryptocurrencies and gold, are reacting cautiously to the expected decision. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have decreased, while gold has risen by more than 2% supported by a weaker dollar and increased demand for safe havens.
