The Federal Reserve FOMC meeting focuses on the direction of monetary policy. The latest decision maintains the benchmark interest rate at 5.25%-5.50%, continuing the tightening stance. The statement emphasizes that the return of inflation to the 2% target still needs to be verified, and the resilience of the employment market supports expectations of a soft landing for the economy. Powell stated that adjustments will be "data-driven," and market opinions on the timing of rate cuts are becoming more divided. This meeting reaffirmed the commitment to fight inflation while leaving room for policy flexibility. The US stock market fluctuated, implicitly reflecting concerns about economic growth slowdown.
