#FOMCMeeting The meeting of the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) on June 17-18, 2025, has the financial world on alert, especially due to the combination of geopolitical risks and trade tensions. The agency is expected to maintain the interest rate in the range of 4.25%-4.50%, where it has been since December, and the dot plot is expected to show fewer cuts in 2025, reflecting a possible shift towards a more restrictive tone.

The statement will include an update on macroeconomic projections, addressing the impact of increases in trade tariffs, weak retail and industrial sales data, and recent oil shocks due to the Middle East conflict. The Fed's emphasis will again be “wait and see,” with the trajectory to follow based on future data on inflation and growth.
