📉 Fed Likely to Hold Rates Again — Political Pressure Mounts
The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting, citing strong economic data and a resilient job market.
🇺🇸 Meanwhile, President Trump is increasing pressure on the Fed to lower rates — raising fresh concerns about central bank independence.
🗂️ Key highlights from the Fed’s latest meeting:
🔸 Only 2 members support a rate cut
🔸 Most remain focused on inflation risks
🔸 Michelle Bowman backs a cut to protect employment
🔸 Christopher Waller warns tariffs may drive short-term inflation
📊 Goldman Sachs Insight:
• No rate cut expected in July
• 50%+ probability of a cut in September
The rate debate continues — with politics and inflation in a delicate balance.
