Federal Reserve Expected to Hold Rates Steady Despite Trump's Push for Cuts

Anyone thinking the Federal Reserve would cut the federal funds rate during this week’s meeting shouldn’t hold their breath. That means President Donald Trump is likely to be disappointed as he pushes for immediate rate cuts.

In fact, an increasing number of Wall Street analysts are saying that rate hikes are unlikely in the cards, as Fortune reported.

Thanos Papasavvas, founder and chief investment officer at ABP Invest, recently wrote in a Financial Times op-ed that markets have priced in two cuts rather than four in 2025, with only a 25% probability of a cut in March.
