#FOMCMeeting Here are the key points about the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting from June 17 to 18, 2025

🏦 Monetary policy decision

• The committee kept its interest rates in a range of 4.25% to 4.50%

• This decision was unanimously expected by the markets

🔍 Reasons presented

1. Inflation still too high: despite a slight retreat, it remains above the 2% target, and the effects of tariffs are considered risky and uncertain

2. Stable but weakened labor market: employment remains robust, although some indicators (wages, unemployment) show signs of weakening.

3. Affirmed independence: the Fed wants to avoid political pressures, such as those exerted in recent weeks by former President Trump

🔮 Future outlook

• No policy change until September: markets anticipate a prolonged pause

• Possible rate cuts from September or December if inflation continues to decrease and the labor market weakens.

• The famous dot plot (internal projections) could show a downward adjustment of rates by the end of the year
