Last night, as expected by the market, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept the key interest rate unchanged in the range of 4.25 – 4.5%. This rate has been maintained since December.
Along with the interest rate decision, the FOMC projected two rate cuts for 2025, according to the dot plot. However, the Federal Reserve (Fed) removed one cut for both 2026 and 2027, bringing the total number of expected future rate cuts down to four, equivalent to a one percent decrease.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that he would wait to see the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariff policies on inflation before making any interest rate moves.
