Fed Keeps Unchanged: Are 3 Rate Cut Estimates Too Optimistic?

After a two-day policy meeting, the Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday that it would keep the benchmark federal funds rate unchanged in the range of 4.25% to 4.5%. Is the market being too optimistic? As the broader market begins to pull back, what impact will this week’s FOMC meeting have?

FOMC - What's our FED decision?

My Reaction to the FOMC's Latest Decision I wasn't surprised to hear that the FOMC decided to keep the federal funds rate steady at 4.25%–4.50%, marking their third consecutive meeting with no change. The unanimous decision, coupled with last Friday's strong April nonfarm payroll data, suggests to me that the Fed feels more comfortable holding off on rate adjustments. I think this move aligns with their cautious approach to the current economic climate. I'm also noting the Fed's acknowledgment of rising risks to both inflation and unemployment, which makes me question how long this stability can last. FOMC My Take on Jerome Powell's Comments I found Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks during the press conference quite telling—he emphasized a “wait and see” approach, stating there's no rush t

FOMC Keeps Fed Funds Rate Steady, Citing Rising Risks of Unemployment, Inflation The Federal Open Market Committee kept the target fed funds rate steady at its current level of at of 4.25% to 4.5%, citing rising risks of unemployment and accelerating inflation. "Uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further," policymakers said in a statement released at the end of its two-day meeting Wednesday afternoon. "The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that the risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen."  Fed Chairman Jerome Powell declined to say when policymakers can resume cutting interest rates again, noting that they will need to see evidence of what the impact from President Donald Trump's tariffs on employme

🌟🌟🌟The latest FOMC meeting concluded with a decision to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50%.  This has reinforced the Feds  wait and see approach amid ongoing uncertainties such as the impact of tariffs, mixed inflation data and muted labour market changes. With interest rates holding steady, I expect short term volatility.  However the strong earnings and resilient corporate performance have already fueled an impressive rebound. @Tiger_comments @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @CaptainTiger

🌟🌟🌟The Best strategy in the midst of global uncertainties is to continue to stay invested in Index ETFs such as $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ because in the long term, they will continue to grow exponentially.  Patience and time in the markets will prevail ultimately. @Tiger_comments @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @CaptainTiger @TigerClub
