FOMC Meeting in Focus: Market Awaits Fed’s Interest Rate Decision
As the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) wraps up its two-day meeting today, May 7, 2025, all eyes are on the U.S. Federal Reserve. The market is widely expecting the Fed to hold interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%, despite pressure from President Trump and investors calling for cuts. With inflation risks lingering—partly due to recent tariffs—analysts believe a rate cut is more likely later in the year. Today’s announcement, expected at 2:00 p.m. ET (8:00 p.m. Tripoli time), will be followed by a press conference that could provide more insight into the Fed’s outlook. Crypto markets may respond to signals on future liquidity shifts.
