Liz Ann Sonders: FOMC holds rates steady as dot plot signals 2025 cut
@LizAnnSonders: FOMC holds rates steady
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has decided to maintain the benchmark interest rate within its current target range of 4.25% to 4.5%. This decision underscores the Committee's cautious stance amidst ongoing economic uncertainties.
In a noteworthy update, the FOMC's dot plot—a chart summarizing the interest rate forecasts of all Committee members—reveals that the median official anticipates a reduction in rates by a half percentage point in 2025.
Liz Ann Sonders, a prominent market strategist, referenced Bloomberg's coverage to highlight these pivotal aspects of the FOMC's latest statement, suggesting potential shifts in monetary policy over the medium term.

These signals from the FOMC arrive as market observers recall the continued momentum in large-cap equities, with the S&P 500 maintaining notable outperformance over the Russell 2000—a trend Liz Ann Sonders recently addressed in her analysis of the S&P 500's leadership streak. Additionally, Sonders’ assessment of shifting index dynamics and the performance of the so-called Mag7 further contextualizes the Committee’s projections within broader market movements, as detailed in her updated Mag7 index table performance.
