#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has scheduled eight meetings for 2025. These meetings are pivotal in determining U.S. monetary policy, including adjustments to the federal funds rate, which influences interest rates across the economy.
🗓️ 2025 FOMC Meeting Schedule
Meetings marked with "Yes" are accompanied by the release of the Summary of Economic Projections, providing insights into the FOMC's outlook on economic growth, unemployment, inflation, and the federal funds rate.
📊 Current Economic Outlook
As of the May 2025 meeting, the FOMC maintained the federal funds rate at 4.25% to 4.50%, citing solid economic activity and a strong labor market. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized patience amid heightened economic uncertainty due to new tariffs introduced by President Trump, which are poised to impact both inflation and growth. First-quarter GDP contracted unexpectedly by 0.3%, and while inflation rose modestly, job market data remained resilient, with April nonfarm payrolls beating expectations. Despite market speculation, June interest rate cuts are now seen as less likely, with July emerging as a more probable window.
Looking ahead, the FOMC's decisions will continue to be data-dependent, focusing on achieving its dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. The next meeting is scheduled for June 17–18, 2025, where the committee will reassess economic conditions and adjust policy as necessary.
