#美联储维持利率不变

CCTV Finance News, on January 29 local time, the U.S. Federal Reserve concluded its two-day monetary policy meeting, announcing that it will maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4.25%-4.5%. This marks the first pause in interest rate cuts since the Fed began its rate-cutting cycle last September, in line with widespread expectations. At the monetary policy meeting in December last year, Fed officials anticipated that the pace of interest rate cuts in 2025 would significantly slow down, with a potential cut of 75 basis points for the entire year. However, influenced by a series of recent economic and employment data, the market expects the Fed to only cut rates once in 2025, and it is even possible that there will be no rate cuts.
