#FOMCMeeting Meeting #FOMC: Expectations and Stability in Monetary Policy**

The **Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)** meets today and tomorrow (June 17-18, 2025) to assess monetary policy amid increasing economic challenges, most notably the impact of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The committee is expected to maintain the interest rate within the current range of **4.25%-4.50%**, which aligns with market expectations of **99.9%**.

The focus will be on **economic forecasts** and the "Dot Plot," which may indicate a delay in rate cuts due to inflation concerns. Nonetheless, one or two cuts are anticipated before the end of 2025, possibly in September or December.

The meeting comes amid political pressure from the White House, but the Federal Reserve reaffirms its independence and reliance on economic data. Markets will be watching Jerome Powell's statements after the announcement to gauge the direction of future policy.

**Summary**: Stability in prices with caution regarding inflation and anticipation of subsequent moves.
