Federal Reserve Expected to Maintain Current Interest Rates

The Federal Reserve is anticipated to announce its decision on interest rates during its January meeting, scheduled for January 29, according to ChainCatcher. A report by Huatai Securities suggests that the Fed is likely to pause any rate cuts and maintain its forward guidance through December 2025, with minimal new information expected. Attention will be on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments regarding the interest rate trajectory, the independence of the Federal Reserve, and his potential reappointment as a board member.
