16-6-2025 – ANZ Bank has projected that the United States Federal Reserve will opt to maintain the current federal funds rate at its forthcoming assembly. The bank’s analysis underscores a labour market that, while exhibiting signs of moderation, continues to demonstrate commendable fortitude.
This enduring stability in employment, ANZ posits, affords the Federal Reserve the latitude to pivot its attention towards the imminent inflation report, particularly in light of escalating tariff pressures and persistent uncertainties surrounding price growth.
The bank further anticipates that Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve’s Chair, will adopt a measured tone, reaffirming a commitment to prudence while asserting that the existing monetary framework is aptly poised to navigate evolving economic currents.
