#FOMCMeeting The June 2025 FOMC meeting reflected the Federal Reserve's cautious stance amid persistent inflation and rising geopolitical uncertainties. By holding interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%, the Fed signaled its commitment to data-driven decision-making. With inflation still above target and growth beginning to show signs of strain, policymakers are walking a tightrope. Markets now expect fewer rate cuts in 2025, possibly starting in September. Chair Powell’s upcoming remarks will be key in clarifying the Fed’s outlook. Overall, the central bank remains focused on balancing inflation control with economic stability, especially as global tensions and trade disruptions continue to add risk.
