#FOMCMeeting The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is convening its third scheduled meeting of 2025 on May 6–7. Market analysts widely anticipate that the Fed will maintain the federal funds rate at its current range of 4.25%–4.50%, continuing its cautious approach amid economic uncertainties. 
Recent economic indicators present a mixed picture. While inflation remains somewhat elevated, the labor market shows signs of stability. However, new tariffs and policy shifts have introduced additional complexities to the economic outlook.  
President Trump has been vocal in advocating for interest rate cuts to stimulate economic growth, but the Fed appears inclined to wait for more definitive data before making policy adjustments. 
Investors and market participants are closely monitoring the Fed’s statements and projections for any indications of future policy directions. The minutes from this meeting are scheduled for release on May 28, 2025.
