#FOMCMeeting The May 2025 FOMC meeting kept interest rates at 4.75%-5%, reflecting caution in the face of persistent inflation and stable economic growth. The Fed indicated that recent data shows a solid GDP, with a resilient labor market, although unemployment rose slightly to 4.1%. Inflation, measured by the PCE, remains close to 2.5%, still above the 2% target. The statement emphasized that there will be no cuts until inflation converges "sustainably" to 2%, dismissing expectations of immediate cuts. Markets reacted with volatility: the S&P 500 fell 0.8%, while 10-year bond yields rose to 4.2%. Powell, in a conference, highlighted the need for patience, emphasizing that monetary policy remains restrictive to cool demand without harming employment. Some analysts interpret a more hawkish tone, anticipating high rates until mid-2026. The unanimous decision of the Committee reinforces the "wait and see" stance, with future projections dependent on incoming data. The next meeting in June will be key to assessing whether the Fed adjusts its strategy. #FOMCMeeting #Economy #Fed
