#FOMCMeeting Rate Cut, Pause — or Surprise? Here’s What to Expect 🏛️

All eyes are on the Federal Reserve as it prepares to announce its next interest rate decision tomorrow. 📅 With inflation slowing 📉 and market volatility rising, investors are eager for clarity. Former President Donald Trump recently urged Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates — even suggesting he might “force something” if no action is taken soon. 💬

🔎 So, what’s expected?

Most analysts believe the Fed will hold rates steady at the current level. No immediate cut is likely, as inflation hasn’t yet reached the Fed's 2% comfort zone. 🧮 However, signs are growing that the first cut may come by September or December 2025, especially if inflation cools further. ❄️

💬 My take?

A pause is most likely — with the Fed watching data closely. Cutting too soon could reignite inflation. Staying put offers flexibility. ✅ But Powell’s comments in the press conference may hint at a future pivot — and markets will be listening carefully. 🎧
