#FOMCMeeting

Today, May 6, 2025, a two-day meeting of the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has begun, during which a maintenance of the base interest rate at 4.25–4.5% is expected. Despite calls from President Donald Trump for rate cuts due to slowing inflation, the Fed is taking a cautious stance, considering the uncertainty caused by new tariffs that could simultaneously raise prices and lower employment. Financial markets predict a possible rate cut in July, when the economic impacts of the tariffs become more evident.
