#FOMCMeeting The recent #FOMCMeeting concluded with the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates at 4.25%-4.50%, as widely expected. This marks a continued pause in rate adjustments. Policymakers cited increased uncertainty in the economic outlook, acknowledging rising risks of both higher unemployment and inflation, partly due to ongoing geopolitical and trade tensions. All eyes are now on the "dot plot" for hints on potential rate cuts later in 2025.
