Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) today, April 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, is publishing the minutes of its March 18-19, 2025, meeting. The minutes should familiarize us with the monetary policy tilt evident in the Federal Reserve and a summary of economic conditions that prevailed in the U.S. Market commentators and traders will be examining the text for indications of a policy shift in the future, specifically in the wake of global economic disruption and trade tensions.
The minutes should report the level of concern at the Fed about the threat of stagflation, an inflationary environment of slow growth. President Trump's new tariffs also help by possibly inflicting inflationary pressure and chilling demand and broad economic growth. The Fed also did not hike the federal funds rate to 4.25%–4.50% during the March meeting, and the minutes would reveal how hard the committee is looking for in upcoming rate action.
The Fed's own future economic projections, including growth and inflation expectations, will be put to the test. The recent US tariff hikes have raised concerns about lower growth and higher inflation, which would be one of the main drivers of future policy to some extent. Release of FOMC minutes has the potential to move financial markets, particularly if they indicate significant changes in the Fed's policy setup or perception of the economy
