However, the pace of easing beyond that is slower than previously expected, with rates seen at 3.6% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At his post-meeting press conference, Chair Jerome Powell ruled out hikes as the base case but emphasized the need to wait for more clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll make a smarter decision if we wait a couple of months,\u201d he said, pointing to uncertainty around how much tariffs will affect inflation. He added that \u201cthe labor market is not crying out for a rate cut\u201d and that current conditions allow the Fed to stay patient.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Other projections showed higher inflation expectations compared to March. The Fed now sees PCE inflation at 3% and core PCE at 3.1% for 2025. GDP growth was revised down to 1.4%, while the unemployment rate was projected to rise to 4.5% this year and remain elevated through 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin was little changed after the announcement, while US equity markets moved higher.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fed left rates unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50% and signaled it may delay cuts as officials
