The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged at its latest meeting of the **Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)**, highlighting the persistence of inflation and economic uncertainty. Although markets were expecting clearer signals about a possible rate cut, the minutes of the meeting reflect a cautious stance from monetary policy makers.
Analysts believe that the decision aims to balance economic growth with inflationary risks, at a time when economic data shows mixed signals. While some sectors demonstrate resilience, others are beginning to feel the impact of high financing costs.
Now, investors are paying close attention to the upcoming meeting on **May 7**, where more concrete signals about the future of interest rates could emerge. Will this be the start of a monetary easing phase or is it still too early to expect cuts?
