The September 17, 2025, FOMC meeting will be the Federal Reserves decision point on a likely 25-basis point rate cut to address labor market weakness, though inflation risk from tariffs exists. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET following the 2 p.m. ET release of the policy statement and economic projections. The market widely expects the rate cut, with the core focus shifting to the persistent slowdown in labor demand.
Key details:
When:
The FOMC meeting concludes on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
What:
The Federal Reserve will release its monetary policy statement and updated economic projections.
Why:
A key reason for the potential action is the weakening labor market, which has shown signs of a more persistent slowdown.
Uncertainty:
While a quarter-point rate cut is the most likely scenario, the central bank must balance this with concerns about reaccelerating inflation due to tariffs.
What to expect:
Interest Rate Cut:
A 25-basis point (0.25%) reduction in the federal funds rate is widely anticipated, though a half-point cut is seen as a remote possibility by some traders.
Shifting Focus:
Policymakers will likely emphasize the balance of risks, noting the significant downside risks to the labor market.
Economic Projections:
The Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) is expected to be adjusted, with higher unemployment figures replacing earlier, more optimistic forecasts.
Fed Chairs Press Conference:
Fed Chair Jerome Powells comments during the 2:30 p.m. ET press conference will be crucial for understanding the FOMCs outlook and intentions for future policy adjustments.
