#FOMCMeeting

🚨 FOMC Meeting 🚨

📢 The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) convened on May 6–7, 2025, opting to maintain the federal funds rate at 4.25%–4.50%. This decision reflects ongoing caution amid economic uncertainties, including a 0.3% GDP contraction in Q1 and inflation at 2.6% in March.

📌 Despite market expectations for rate cuts by June, the Fed remains vigilant, particularly concerning potential inflationary pressures from recent import tariffs.

➡  Labor market indicators show stability, with unemployment at 4.2%, though a slowdown in job growth is anticipated. The Fed's stance underscores its commitment to data-driven decisions, balancing economic growth with inflation control.
