#FOMCMeeting The FOMC meeting (June 17-18, 2025) revolves around the decision to keep the interest rate stable at 4.25%–4.50%, amid concerns about persistent inflation and geopolitical and tariff uncertainties. The Fed adopts a "wait-and-see" stance, awaiting responses to the effects of the Trump administration's tariffs and the conflict in the Middle East on prices and economic activity. The "dot plot" is expected to indicate only one rate cut anticipated in 2025, lower than previous forecasts. Recent data shows weakening in sales and industrial production, although unemployment remains at low levels (~4.2%); meanwhile, the labor market shows signs of cooling. Powell's press conference will be the focus to understand the outlook for future policies.
