#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
🔍 Stated reasons
1. Inflation still too high: despite a slight decline, 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. Asserted 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
• Rate cuts possible 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
