Investors across stocks, gold, crypto, and forex are eager to see if the central bank will maintain its stance or signal further rate cuts.<\/p>\n

Since September 2024, the FED has been easing rates, starting with a 50-basis-point cut, followed by two 25-basis-point reductions in November and December. Despite this trend, analysts expect no changes in January, with FED Watch pricing a 99.5% probability of rates staying put. However, speculation is growing that the first cut of 2025 could come by June.<\/p>\n

While the labor market appears stable, analysts at LHMeyer warn that restrictive monetary policy is still affecting economic growth. They expect rates to stay above 4% until mid-2025, with inflation at 2.5%. However, this won\u2019t likely stop the FED from continuing rate cuts.<\/p>\n
