The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is holding its scheduled meeting on May 6 and 7. This meeting of the US Federal Reserve, led by Jerome Powell, will assess the current economic conditions of the world's strongest economy. During this session, the Federal Open Market Committee will consider whether changes in interest rates are necessary, which may impact the direction of US monetary policy. Current rates remain unchanged at 4.25% to 4.5% since December 2024. The Federal Open Market Committee typically meets eight times a year to discuss matters related to US inflation and interest rates. However, this will be one of the most closely watched Federal Reserve outcomes, especially by US President Donald Trump, who wants to lower rates, according to reports.
