#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concluded its two-day meeting on June 18, 2025. As widely anticipated, the Federal Reserve maintained its benchmark federal funds rate at the current range of 4.25% to 4.5%. This decision marks a continued cautious posture by the Fed amidst increased uncertainty in the economic outlook, particularly concerning the impact of recent tariff announcements.

The FOMC noted that while economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace and the labor market remains healthy, risks of both higher unemployment and elevated inflation have risen. The committee will continue to monitor a wide range of economic data to inform future policy decisions.
