The Big Day is Tomorrow: The Fed Will Unveil Its Interest Rate Decision – Here Are the Latest Expectations

The Fed is set to announce its first interest rate cut of the year tomorrow. The decision comes amid weakening labor market data, despite tariffs putting upward pressure on inflation. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is expected to cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4% to 4.25%. This would be the first cut since December 2024. The rate cut has largely been priced in. According to CME FedWatch Tool data, a 25 basis point cut is given a 96% probability, while a more aggressive 50 basis point cut is given a 4% probability. The pressures on the Fed's dual goals of employment and price stability are drawing attention.
