U.S. Federal Reserve to Decide Interest Rates Today Amid Global Market Anticipation

Global markets are closely watching the U.S. Federal Reserve’s meeting today, where a decision will be made regarding the interest rate on the U.S. dollar. This comes amid heightened volatility, particularly in commodity trading across global exchanges, largely driven by recently imposed tariffs on major exports from the U.S.’s key trade partners.

Today’s meeting marks the Federal Reserve’s third regular policy meeting of 2025. The outcome is highly anticipated, especially among monetary policymakers within the Fed, as uncertainty lingers across economic and financial sectors.

It is widely expected that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady for the third consecutive time in today’s decision.

Economists suggest that the Fed’s first rate cut could come in late July 2025, during its fifth scheduled meeting of the year. Such a move would allow the Fed more time to assess evolving labor market data and to navigate ongoing uncertainty related to tariffs and U.S. fiscal policy.
