The article highlights the anticipation surrounding the Federal Reserve's (FED) January interest rate decision, which is the first of 2025. The FED is expected to keep interest rates unchanged this month, with a 99.5% probability according to FED Watch. However, analysts believe that interest rates may be cut by 25 basis points in June. The decision and FED Chairman Jerome Powell's statements afterward are expected to provide clues about future monetary policy. Despite recent statements about fighting inflation, market expectations for an interest rate cut throughout the year are increasing. Analysts also mention the stabilizing labor market but suggest that the Fed's monetary policy could still have negative effects on the economy. Overall, markets are expected to react moderately positively to the FED's decision, but the focus remains on developments from the Trump administration.
