#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the Federal Reserve takes place on May 6 and 7, 2025. The committee is expected to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged in the range of 4.25% to 4.50%, adopting a 'wait and see' stance while assessing the effects of recent trade policies and economic developments.

Although the April employment report showed solid payroll growth, downward revisions in previous months and alternative data, such as the ADP employment report and the Fed's Beige Book, suggest a weakening labor market. Furthermore, inflation remains moderate, with a minimal increase of 0.03% in the core PCE price index in March.
