#FOMCMeeting The latest FOMC meeting carried significant weight for global markets. The Federal Reserve decided to hold interest rates steady, signaling a cautious approach amid lingering inflation. While inflation has eased compared to last year, it remains above the Fed’s 2% target, prompting officials to maintain a hawkish stance. The committee revised its projections, now expecting only one rate cut in 2025, instead of the previously expected two or more. This has strengthened the U.S. dollar and created pressure on emerging markets. Investors are watching closely, as future policy shifts will depend heavily on upcoming economic data, particularly job growth and inflation trends. Markets may remain volatile in the short term.
