Fed meets for first time since Trump’s term started. What to expect

The Federal Reserve is gearing up for its first meeting of the year, amidst pressure from President Donald Trump for lower interest rates. However, it seems unlikely that the central bank will comply with the President’s wishes, at least for now.

With uncertainties surrounding Trump’s proposed policies on tariffs, regulations, and immigration, the Fed is expected to maintain its current policy rate in the range of 4.25%-4.5%. Market indicators suggest a near 100% certainty of no rate changes until June, as officials monitor the impact of these potential policy shifts.

Former Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan believes that the Fed should hold steady and refrain from making any changes in the current meeting. He points to various factors that could affect inflation, such as government spending cuts, regulatory reviews, and energy sector reforms. Additionally, tariffs and mass deportations could have inflationary implications, further complicating the decision-making process for the central bank.

Despite pressure from the White House, the Fed is expected to maintain a cautious approach and refrain from making any hasty decisions. The upcoming meeting will not include updated economic projections, but investors will closely analyze the post-meeting statement and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s news conference for insights into the central bank’s thinking.

Powell, who had a contentious relationship with Trump during his first term, is likely to face questions about the President’s demands for lower rates. However, former Kansas City Fed President Esther George emphasized the importance of the Fed staying true to its mandate of maintaining price stability, regardless of external pressures.

Overall, the Fed’s decision at this meeting will be closely watched for clues about its future policy direction in the face of changing economic and political dynamics. The central bank’s independence and commitment to its mandate will be put to the test as it navigates a challenging policy environment.
