Rate markets are still pricing in another quarter-point cut from the Fed at the US central bank\u2019s June meeting, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the Fed still strong growth and a healthy labor market underpinning the US economy.<\/p>\n<p>However, not all is rosy in the Fed\u2019s outlook: Fed policymakers have trimmed their growth\u00a0outlook\u00a0for the year, with US\u00a0Gross Domestic Product\u00a0(GDP) growth to slow to just 1.7% through 2025, several points below December\u2019s forecast of 2.1%. Fed Chair Powell also nodded a head at downside risks at the hands of the Trump administration\u2019s trade policies, however the Fed thus far continues to bet that inflationary effects from global tariff-fueled trade wars will be mild and temporary. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/news\/gbp-usd-remains-attached-to-13000-after-fed-rate-hold-202503192348\" target=\"_blank\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/editorial.fxsstatic.com\/miscelaneous\/image-638780248908505423.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt src=\"https:\/\/editorial.fxsstatic.com\/miscelaneous\/image-638780248908505423.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Information on these pages contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
