#FOMCMeeting

Last FOMC Meeting: June 2025 (Summary)

Date: June 11-12, 2025

📌 Key Points:

Interest Rates: Held steady between 5.25% and 5.50%.

Inflation: Still above the 2% target, but showing signs of moderation.

Projections: The Fed now expects fewer rate cuts this year (perhaps only one instead of two or three).

Jerome Powell (Chairman of the Fed): Indicated that they want to see clearer evidence that inflation is coming down before easing monetary policy.

📉 Impact on Markets:

Dollar (USD): Strengthened slightly after the meeting.

Treasury Bonds: Yields rose.

U.S. Stock Market: Had mixed reactions, depending on the sector.

Cryptocurrencies: Experienced slight declines following the Fed's cautious message. Markets often react negatively when rate cuts are delayed.

🔍 What does this mean for you if you invest?

🧠 Increased caution: The Fed remains very attentive to the data. If inflation does not decrease, rate cuts could be postponed.

💰 If you invest in crypto or stocks, the FOMC decisions have a significant impact: when rates rise or remain high, risk assets typically decline.

📆 The next FOMC will be in July 2025, and will be key to confirming if there is room to lower rates this year.
