Washington, May 6, 2025 – Binance Square

In its May meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to keep interest rates in the current range of 5.25%–5.50%, in line with market expectations. However, the tone of the statement reflects greater caution in light of recent inflation data, which show signs of resilience above the 2% target.

Highlights of the statement:

The Fed acknowledges progress in cooling the labor market but warns of "persistent inflation" in key sectors.

Future increases are not ruled out if conditions warrant.
