Fed Chair Jerome Powell is speaking with reporters after the Federal Reserve’s June 18 decision to hold interest rates steady, as expected. Investors and analysts are looking for any indications on the Fed’s path for the rest of 2025.
The meeting also featured the latest release of the Fed’s “dot plot,” a chart that shows each Fed official’s prediction about the direction of the central bank’s benchmark interest rate. This chart is updated quarterly, and the last version came out in March. The dot plot showed most officials still expect two rate cuts by the end of 2025.
Powell is likely to add context to how economic uncertainty tied to President Trump’s tariffs and the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East have affected the Fed’s outlook.
