#DAOBaseAIBinanceTGE FOMC Meeting: Outlook and Stability of Monetary Policy
**Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)** will hold meetings today and tomorrow (June 17-18, 2025) to evaluate monetary policy amid growing economic challenges. The most prominent issue is the impact of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The committee is expected to maintain the current benchmark interest rate range of **4.25%-4.50%**, which aligns 99.9% with market expectations.
The focus of this meeting will be on the economic outlook and the "Dot Plot". This may suggest that rate cuts could be delayed due to inflation concerns. Nevertheless, one or two rate cuts are expected by the end of 2025, which could occur in September or December.
This meeting takes place under political pressure from the White House, but the Federal Reserve emphasizes independence and data-driven decisions. The market will pay attention to comments made by Chairman Jerome Powell after the announcement to gauge policy direction.
Summary: Interest rates are held steady, with vigilance on inflation and monitoring of future actions continuing.
