#FOMCMeeting

The upcoming FOMC meeting on June 17–18 is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%–4.50%, as the Federal Reserve remains cautious amid mixed economic signals. While inflation is near the Fed’s 2% target, concerns over Trump’s proposed tariffs, rising oil prices, and global tensions are adding uncertainty. At the same time, signs of a cooling labor market and slowing manufacturing activity hint at economic fragility. The Fed is likely to adopt a “wait and see” approach, focusing on incoming data before deciding on future rate cuts. Markets are anticipating a possible rate cut in September if economic conditions weaken further. Investors will watch the Fed’s updated projections and press conference closely, as they could offer valuable insights into the path of monetary policy for the rest of 2025. Overall, stability for now, but the door remains open for easing later this year.
