The Federal Reserve will leave interest rates unchanged in its March 19, 2025, meeting, with the target range of 4.25% to 4.5% maintained. There is little possibility that there would be a rate cut during this meeting, according to market expectations. The Fed is expected to adopt a patient stance, carefully monitoring economic readings and possible consequences of Trump administration fiscal policy.
New economic projections, such as the "dot plot," will come out, giving a snapshot of Fed policymakers' views on GDP expansion, inflation, unemployment, and upcoming interest rate hikes. Projections will play a central role in deciphering the Fed's forward-looking money policy. A focus point is still inflation, with the recent data revealing an uptick in the PCE inflation measure.
No near-term rate moves are anticipated, although the threat of rate cuts later in 2025 continues to be on the table, subject to economic development and future data releases. Two or three reductions in the latter half of the year is what the markets are forecasting. Chair Powell's post-meeting press conference will be instrumental in clarifying the Fed's message and how it will react to changing economic developments
