Following recent economic events, all investors are now turning their attention to the upcoming interest rate decision by the Fed. So, when will the FOMC announce the Fed interest rate decision? Will the Fed cut interest rates? The anticipation continues regarding whether the Fed will reduce interest rates in its second interest rate decision of 2025. Investors looking to keep their investments safe ahead of the Fed interest rate decision have started to question economists’ expectations regarding interest rates. So, when will the FOMC announce the Fed interest rate decision? Will the Fed cut interest rates?The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) second Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of 2025 will take place on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Following the meeting, the Fed will announce its interest rate decision at 10:00 PM. The Federal Reserve (Fed) will convene on March 18-19, 2025 to announce the second interest rate decision of the year. Economists expect that the Fed will keep the policy rate unchanged at its current level during this meeting. In its January 2025 meeting, the Fed had maintained the policy rate in the range of 4.25-4.50%. With recent inflation rising to 2.5% and strong economic data, the Fed is inclined to pursue a more cautious interest rate policy. Therefore, economists do not foresee any changes in interest rates at the March 2025 meeting.
