#FOMCMeeting #Write2Earn

When is the FOMC Meeting?

The June 2025 FOMC meeting will conclude on Wednesday, June 18th at 2:00 ET.

Fed Chairman Powell’s press conference will begin at 2:30 ET.

What are the FOMC Interest Rate Expectations?

Traders and economists confidently expect the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged in the 4.25-4.50% range.

As of writing, Fed Funds futures traders are pricing in 99%+ odds of no change to interest rates per CME FedWatch.

Assuming the Federal Reserve leaves interest rates unchanged as expected, the market’s focus will immediately shift to the central bank’s Monetary Policy Statement and the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) for potential market-moving changes.

Once traders have digested any tweaks on those fronts, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference will be the main volatility catalyst for traders as they seek more clarity on how the Fed is viewing the apparent slowdown in the labor market and outlook for inflation in the second half of the year.
