#FOMCMeeting

How are you positioning ahead of the FOMC announcement?🧐

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets tomorrow, June 18, 2025, to decide on interest rates, with the announcement at 2:00 PM ET.

Markets expect a pause, with a 99.9% chance of rates staying at 4.25%–4.5%, per CME FedWatch. Despite pressure from President Trump for a cut, the Fed’s cautious stance persists due to inflation risks and tariff uncertainties.

I believe they’ll hold steady, as recent data suggests stability over haste. Investors will scrutinize Chair Powell’s press conference for hints of future cuts, possibly in September. The dot plot and economic projections will also shape market expectations.
