#FOMCMeeting #FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the U.S. Federal Reserve meets today and tomorrow (May 6 and 7, 2025) to decide on interest rates. Forecasts suggest that the central bank will keep the interest rate unchanged, within the current range of 4.25% to 4.50%, amid ongoing uncertainty regarding the impact of new tariffs on the U.S. economy.

Key Updates:

1- High likelihood of stabilization: The "CME FedWatch" tool indicates that the likelihood of a rate cut at this meeting does not exceed 1.8%, reinforcing stabilization expectations.

2- Political pressures without response: Despite President Trump's repeated calls for a rate cut to support economic growth, the Federal Reserve remains cautious, citing inflation risks arising from the new tariffs.

3- Market vigilance: Markets, including cryptocurrencies and gold, are reacting cautiously to the anticipated decision. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have declined, while gold has risen by more than 2%, supported by a weaker dollar and increased demand for safe havens.
