The Federal Reserve left its rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% on Wednesday as expected. This marks the third straight meeting with no rate changes this year. Overall, the central bank has lowered its rates by 100 basis points so far this economic cycle.

The central bank notably highlighted that risks of both higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen due to uncertainty over trade policy and tariffs.

The keyword during the March meeting was “uncertainty”. This time, the phrase “wait and see” will certainly be remembered by the market participants and Fed watchers.
