Fed Meeting Today: Trump's Return Suggests Fewer Rate Cuts by Fed
With Donald Trump's recent election victory in the United States, the path to future interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve appears to be becoming slower and more cautious. The economic policies proposed by the Republican leader promise to revitalize the American economy, potentially affecting inflation and the speed of rate cuts.
U.S. central bankers are expected to cut the Fed's benchmark interest rate by 0,25% to between 4,50% and 4,75% after their policy meeting that ends today. However, financial markets are now pricing in just two rate cuts for 2025, forecasting a reduction to between 3,75% and 4%.
