After two years of smooth sailing, Fed ready to navigate rocky bond market, Trump uncertainty

The Federal Reserve is preparing for its upcoming meeting amidst increasing bond yields and uncertainty over Trump’s policies. The Fed’s ongoing interest rate cuts have not alleviated the pressures on borrowing costs, creating potential challenges to economic stability.

Inflation is nearing the Fed’s target, with the unemployment rate falling to 4.1%. However, rising long-term interest rates may complicate future decisions and the overall economic landscape as uncertainties related to incoming policies under Trump persist.
