Countdown to the Federal Reserve's June Meeting: Uncertainty Over Rate Cuts, Two Key Time Points Draw Attention
According to information released by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Federal Reserve's fourth meeting for 2025 will be held from June 17 to 18 Eastern Time. This meeting is of significant importance, and an economic outlook and dot plot will be released afterward to reflect the Federal Reserve's expectations for future economic and interest rate paths.
Currently, some institutions predict a possibility of a 25 basis point rate cut at this meeting. However, due to the dynamic changes in economic data and the uncertainty of policy decisions, it is not possible to definitively determine whether the Federal Reserve will implement a rate cut before the meeting officially convenes.
Key time points to pay special attention to are as follows: A policy statement from this meeting will be released at 14:00 Eastern Time on June 18 (corresponding to 02:00 Beijing Time on June 19); and at 02:30 Beijing Time on June 19 (Thursday), Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will hold a press conference to deliver remarks. This series of events will undoubtedly attract high attention from global financial markets, and the decision results will have significant impacts on the dollar's movement, global stock markets, and gold prices, among others.
