At 2:00 AM Beijing Time on July 31, 2025, the Federal Reserve announced its July interest rate decision. The decision keeps the federal funds rate target range unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50%, marking the Federal Reserve's fifth consecutive decision to maintain the interest rate, in line with market expectations. The relevant details are as follows:
- Voting Results: The voting result for the interest rate decision was 9 votes in favor, 2 votes against, and 1 board member was absent and did not vote. Among them, board members Waller and Bowman supported a 25 basis point rate cut, marking the first time since 1993 that two board members voiced dissent on an interest rate decision.
- Economic Assessment: The Federal Reserve reiterated that the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook “remains quite high,” but removed the statement that uncertainty “has diminished.” At the same time, it lowered its assessment of the U.S. economy, noting that “economic activity growth slowed in the first half of the year,” but maintained the language that “the labor market remains robust” and inflation “remains somewhat elevated.”
- Future Plans: The Federal Reserve has not made any decisions regarding the September interest rate, stating that it “will consider relevant economic information before the next policy meeting.” The committee will continue to reduce its holdings of Treasury securities, agency debt, and agency mortgage-backed securities, firmly committed to achieving maximum employment and restoring the inflation rate to the 2% target.
Additionally, according to the CME FedWatch tool, the federal funds futures market estimates that the probability of the “Federal Reserve cutting rates by 25 basis points in September” is approximately 68%.
