When will the Fed's interest rate decision be? Will there be a rate cut? July 2025 Fed interest rate decision meeting


The Fed's July 2025 interest rate meeting will be held on July 29-30, 2025. The decision to be made following the meeting will be announced on Wednesday, July 30, at 9:00 PM Turkish time. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to deliver messages on monetary policy at a press conference to be held on the same day.

US inflation nearing target by 2025 and signals of a slowdown in the labor market have investors focused on the possibility of an interest rate cut. Inflation data released in June 2025 showed a decline in the core CPI to 2.3%. This has reinforced expectations that the Fed may cut interest rates in July. Experts predict a 25 basis point rate cut in July. However, Powell's statements and the language in the decision will also determine the direction of monetary policy for the rest of the year.

The Fed's interest rate decision directly impacts emerging market currencies, particularly the USD/TRY exchange rate, gold and silver prices, cryptocurrency markets, and stock market indices. Therefore, the July 2025 meeting is a critical turning point not only for the US economy but also for global financial markets.
