NEWS
Fed Holds Steady While Trump’s Policies Loom Over Markets

President Donald Trump’s early moves in his second term are already creating uncertainty for the U.S. Federal Reserve as it seeks to navigate the final phase of its inflation-fighting campaign. While Fed officials are expected to hold interest rates steady in their current range of 4.25% to 4.50% at next week’s meeting, questions surrounding Trump’s policy agenda — including tighter immigration rules and looming import tariffs — are likely to complicate the central bank’s guidance. Trump has also called for immediate rate cuts, echoing his prior term’s pressure on the Fed.

The Fed’s challenge lies in determining how much to account for Trump’s political and economic strategies in its monetary policy decisions. Analysts and former Fed officials warn of the difficulties in maintaining independence while addressing the potential for higher imported goods prices and labor force constraints. Inflation, which has steadily declined from its 40-year peak in 2022, is now nearing the Fed’s 2% target, but the path ahead remains fraught with uncertainty as policymakers weigh economic data and external pressures.

Market Overview:

• Fed expected to hold rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% next week.

• Trump tightens immigration and threatens tariffs, raising economic uncertainty.

• Inflation shows steady progress toward 2%, but risks remain.

Key Points:

• Trump reiterates demand for immediate Fed rate cuts during Davos address.

• Fed officials project slower rate cuts and tempered inflation progress for 2025.

• Economic and monetary policy uncertainty spikes post-election.
