Khaberni - The US Federal Reserve will hold its periodic meeting over the next Tuesday and Wednesday to decide on the interest rate on the dollar, amid anticipation from the Jordanian people for the possibility of a second cut this year.
The Federal Reserve had reduced the interest rate at its last meeting in September for the first time since the beginning of 2025, in light of a slowdown in inflation in the United States, bringing the interest rate to between 4% and 4.25% after reducing it by 0.25%.
Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, faces increasing pressure from US President Donald Trump, who demands a faster reduction in interest rates, aiming to lower the cost of servicing the US debt and stimulate economic growth as elections approach.
Investors around the world are closely monitoring the meeting results, as they will have a direct impact on global markets and the currency market, especially given the slowdown in the US economy and the decelerating pace of inflation in recent months.
