#FOMCMeeting FOMC Decision

The federal funds rate is maintained at 4.25%–4.50%, for the fourth consecutive meeting.

The committee emphasizes a "wait-and-see" stance while awaiting the full impact of trade tariffs and global pressures.

Economic projections (dot plot) likely indicate less than one rate cut throughout 2025, possibly occurring in September.

Inflation is in a safe zone (~2.3–2.4% in May), but uncertainty regarding tariffs and global conflicts (including Middle Eastern tensions) remains a significant concern.

The FOMC will release the Summary of Economic Projections and hold a press conference by Jerome Powell around 2:30 PM EST (00:30 WIB+1).

🔔 Impact and Implications

Stock and crypto markets may react neutrally or slightly positively as interest rates remain unchanged.

However, the prospect of a single rate cut at the end of the year (as a moderate dovish signal) could provide positive mid-term sentiment.

The Fed remains cautious in the face of rising tariffs, new inflation, and global risks—keeping interest rates higher for a little longer.
