The Federal Reserve is expected to announce its interest rate decision on Wednesday. Despite President Trump's repeated calls for a rate cut, a majority of investors anticipate the rates remaining unchanged. The Fed has maintained a wait-and-see approach regarding inflation concerns stemming from Trump's tariff policies. While the Fed previously forecast two rate cuts in 2025, the likelihood of a cut at this meeting remains uncertain, dependent on incoming economic data. The current federal funds rate sits between 4.25% and 4.5%.
