The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged within their current range. ⏸️ The decision was largely expected, but the focus was on the statements of President "Jerome Powell" and the committee's future outlook.

Key Points:

Inflation remains high: Despite slowing down, inflation is still above the desired target of 2%. The Fed wants more conclusive evidence of a sustained decline. 🔥

Future hints: The Fed indicated the possibility of lowering interest rates once this year, instead of the previous expectations which suggested three times. 📉 This means that high interest rates may continue with us for a little longer.

Strength of the labor market: The U.S. labor market remains strong, giving the Fed flexibility to maintain its tight monetary policy to combat inflation. 💪

What does this mean for you? 🧐

For investors: Market anticipation may continue. Future decisions will heavily depend on upcoming inflation data. 📊

For consumers: The cost of borrowing will remain high for now. 💳

In short, the Fed is still cautious.
