As of March 24, 2025, the Federal Reserve has maintained the federal funds rate at a target range of 4.25% to 4.50%. This decision reflects the central bank's ongoing efforts to balance economic growth with inflation control.
Looking ahead, Federal Reserve policymakers anticipate implementing two quarter-point rate cuts later this year. These projections suggest a cautious approach in response to expectations of slower economic growth and elevated inflation, partly influenced by recent tariff policies.
However, it's important to note that these forecasts are subject to change based on evolving economic conditions, and there is some disagreement among policymakers regarding the exact timing and magnitude of future rate adjustments. The Federal Reserve remains vigilant, closely monitoring economic indicators to inform its monetary policy decisions.
