#FOMCMeetingUPDATE

At the June FOMC meeting, the Fed is widely expected to hold interest rates steady at 5.25%–5.50%, as inflation remains sticky despite signs of cooling. Key focus will be on the updated “dot plot,” which may signal fewer rate cuts for 2025, potentially delaying the first cut to September or later. Powell's tone during the press conference will be closely watched for clues on inflation risks, labor market resilience, and the impact of new tariffs. Also on the agenda: discussions on easing the Supplementary Leverage Ratio, which could affect big bank capital rules. Overall, the Fed is expected to maintain a cautious, data-driven stance, emphasizing patience until inflation trends more decisively downward.
