#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concluded its May 2025 meeting by maintaining the federal funds rate at 4.25%–4.50%, signaling a cautious stance amid economic uncertainties. Despite President Trump's calls for rate cuts to stimulate growth, the Fed emphasized the need for more definitive data, particularly concerning the impacts of recent tariffs and inflation trends. Chair Jerome Powell highlighted the importance of monitoring economic indicators before making policy adjustments. Market expectations now suggest potential rate cuts may commence in July, contingent on forthcoming economic developments.([Wells Fargo Advisors][1], [MarketWatch][2], [Kiplinger][3], [MarketWatch][4])
