#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is currently holding its two-day meeting on June 17-18, 2025. The key announcement, including the interest rate decision and the updated Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) or "dot plot," is expected on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET (18:00 UTC), followed by a press conference with the Federal Reserve Chair.

Market consensus largely expects the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates steady at the current range of 4.25%-4.50% for the fourth consecutive meeting. While there's a prevailing anticipation of rate cuts later in 2025, the timing and extent remain uncertain. Investors will be closely watching the "dot plot" for any shifts in FOMC members' projections for future rate cuts, especially given ongoing discussions around economic data, inflation trends, and the potential impact of tariffs.
