#FOMCMeeting Key Topics in the Latest Meeting

3. Labor Market Moderation While job growth continues, the pace has slowed, and wage growth is beginning to normalize. The FOMC noted that while the labor market is still strong, it shows signs of “gradual rebalancing,” reducing the urgency for further rate hikes.

4. Dot Plot Insights The much-watched “dot plot,” which reflects each Fed official’s interest rate projections, revealed a more hawkish stance than markets expected. While one rate cut in 2025 remains possible, projections have trimmed back earlier expectations for multiple cuts this year.
