In a significant decision, the Federal Reserve has announced that it will hold interest rates steady, reflecting its cautious approach amid elevated inflation levels and ongoing uncertainty related to potential economic impacts from Trump’s plans. This marks the first meeting without a rate cut since the previous summer. Fed Chair Powell emphasized the need for a balanced approach, stating that there is no urgency to adjust the current policy stance. The decision was unanimous, despite pressure from external factors and concerns about tariffs. Financial experts predict that the Fed is likely to maintain this steady course in the foreseeable future.
