💵 Interest Rate Decision

• Market expectations and surveys agreed that the decision was to maintain the rate, with no cuts until at least September.

🔍 Reasons for the Decision

1. Moderate Inflation Data: Consumer and producer price indices have slowed to a comfortable degree, but the impact of tariffs still carries an element of uncertainty .

2. Strong Labor Market: Despite a slight slowdown in job creation, the unemployment rate remained around 4.2%, and labor market performance does not justify a rate cut.

3. Trade and Geopolitical Risks: Tariffs and trade policies, along with international tensions (including escalation between Israel and Iran) slow down the pace of rate cuts as it is seen as premature action.
