#FOMCMeeting Today and tomorrow (May 6 and 7, 2025), the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the U.S. Federal Reserve is meeting to decide on interest rates. Forecasts indicate that the central bank will keep the interest rate unchanged within the current range of 4.25% to 4.50%, amid ongoing anticipation regarding the impact of new tariffs on the U.S. economy. $BTC
Key Updates:
1- High likelihood of stabilization: The "CME FedWatch" tool indicates that the chance of a rate cut at this meeting does not exceed 1.8%, reinforcing expectations of stabilization.
2- Political pressures without response: Despite President Trump's repeated calls for interest rate cuts to support economic growth, the Federal Reserve remains cautious, citing inflation risks arising from the 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 weak dollar and increased demand for safe havens. #USStablecoinBill
Finally, some analysts expect the Federal Reserve to start cutting rates beginning in July, especially if the effects of the tariffs begin to negatively impact inflation and the labor market. But so far, there are no strong indicators of sufficient economic weakness to justify an immediate rate cut.
