#FOMCMeeting
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held its June 2025 meeting and decided to keep interest rates unchanged, maintaining the target range at 5.25% to 5.50%. The decision reflects continued caution as inflation remains above the 2% target, despite signs of economic moderation. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the need for more data before considering any rate cuts, stating that while progress has been made, inflation risks persist. The Fed slightly lowered its GDP growth forecast but remains optimistic about a soft landing. Markets responded with volatility, as investors adjust expectations for potential rate cuts later in the year. The next FOMC meeting in July will be closely watched for any shift in the Fedโs policy stance.
