On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held its first meeting of 2025 and as expected, decided to keep the federal funds target range at 4.25% to 4.50%. This decision breaks a pattern of three consecutive rate cuts that had lowered the target range by a total of 100 basis points since September.
The FOMC statement was somewhat hawkish in regards to price pressures, stating that inflation “remains somewhat elevated.” This is a change from December’s statement which said inflation had “made progress.” According to Fed Chair Jerome Powell in his press conference following the meeting, this change was simply meant to clarify language and not signal any specific action.
The central bank also noted that economic activity has continued at a solid pace and unemployment remains low. However, they will carefully assess incoming data when considering further adjustments to interest rates.
Lindsay Rosner from Goldman Sachs Asset Management sees this as a new phase in the Fed’s easing cycle due to strong growth and labor market data allowing for more patience amid uncertainty surrounding data and policy changes. The risks related their dual mandate remain balanced according tot he FOMC statement.
Powell emphasized during his press conference that current policy remains restrictive but future decisions will be guided by real progress towards their inflation target or weakness in labor markets.
This pause comes as U.S economy has remained resilient despite higher borrowing costs with moderate levels of inflation still showing strong economic growth supported by consumer health while interest rates continue on downward trend albeit slower than before says Ryan Severino chief economist for BGO who believes we should see slowed yet steady growth compared with other advanced economies over time period between two percent up until five percent depending on how things go politically speaking especially given President Trumps policies which could influence both economics activities along with potential trade tensions being higher now then previously seen under previous administration making it difficult predict what may happen next even though there are many possibilities.
In terms of market reaction, the S&P500 fell by 0.75% while U.S 2-year yield and U.S 10-year yield rose by six basis points and three basis points respectively. According to Severino, over the past six easing cycles at a similar point in time as we are now with this one there has been a general decline in yields except for one instance where it was flat but due to mismanagement of pace along with guidance from Fed this time around yields have increased between ninety up until hundred basis points which is not what commercial real estate market had hoped for even though curve has normalized somewhat.
According to CME FedWatch Tool there is nearly an eighty percent chance that FOMC will hold steady again come March meeting however June meeting currently offers highest probability next rate cut at forty-six point two percent followed closely behind July’s meeting coming in at forty-four point one percent making it difficult predict what may happen next even though there are many possibilities given current political climate along with potential trade tensions being higher now then previously seen under previous administration making it difficult predict what may happen next even though there are many possibilities especially since key question remains whether pause temporary allowing them assess impact previous rate cuts or if signals more prolonged period stability interest rates moving forward.Spectroscopic characterization of new copper(II) complexes containing N,N′-bis[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]ethane-1,2-diamine
New Cu(II) complexes [Cu(L)(H2O)]ClO4 (1), [Cu(L)(N3)]NO3·H2O (4), [Cu(HL)(NCS)Cl]·CH3OH (5a), {[Cu(HL)(μ-NCS)][Mn(NCS)6]}n·xCH3OH (5b,x=0; 6b,x=8/3; 7b,x=1) and [Cu(HL)(NCS)]·H2O (8a), where HL=N,N′-bis[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl]ethane-1,2-diamine, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy. The X-ray crystal structures of complexes 4–6b have been determined. In complex 4 the copper(II) ion is coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with N5 donor atoms from two tridentate ligands L− and one terminal azide group. Complexes 5a,b consist of mononuclear units containing CuN3SCl chromophore with distorted octahedral coordination around the metal atom while in complexe [Cu(HL)(μ-NCS)][Mn(NCS)6]n (5c,d), Mn(III)/[Cu(L)] fragments are linked through μ-NCS bridges to form an extended chain structure along c-axis direction which is further stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions between lattice water molecules/CH3OH solvent molecules and perchlorate ions present outside the chains.

IMS TEN PAGES Published Daily Except Sunday SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Reds Reject U.S.-British Plan for Big Four Meeting Molotov Says No Need For Talks Until After Geneva Conference By JOHN M HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) — Soviet Foreign Minister V.M.Molotov has rejected an American-British proposal that the foreign ministers of the Big Four powers meet in Paris to prepare for a conference of top leaders. Molotov said the foreign ministers’ meeting would be “useless” until after the Geneva conference on Indochina and other Far Eastern problems is completed. He also turned down an invitation from Secretary of State Dulles to come here for talks with him before going home, saying he had no time available because he was leaving today by air for Moscow. The Soviet minister’s reply, received yesterday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., came as a surprise since it was thought that his acceptance or rejection might not come until later this week or even next week when Molotov expected to see Dulles in New York during United Nations General Assembly meetings there beginning Sept. 14- But apparently Molotov wanted no delay once he had decided how to answer President Eisenhower’s Aug.’31 letter proposing that they get together again soon and talk about world problems including German unification and disarmament as well as Indochina.. Informed sources indicated last night that U.S.-British plans are now being made on the assumption there will be no further high level East-West meetings before late October at least — if then—when Prime Minister Churchill comes here again following his Oct; 4-11 visit with French Premier Laniel in Paris where they hope.to work out some new plan .for European defense cooperation which may help break up Russian opposition’to Germany’s rearmament within Western Europe under NATO auspices.” ‘• • – •• : ; , . i ..,,,-,.„…-. „..„.,_._^ ^^^^.^j^^^^^^^^^^^-iMiiiiiMiMMHMHMMMlMHBHMHHBMIMIHIHMIWIIIIIIBBIIMBMBBBBBlBBBiBBBBBBBBBBiBHBMaMMaiilillllllliililiilliillliliililllllBlii^MMIIMMIBIIHBBHHMBBI^^^MHBM^^^^^^^^^^HBHIHMHiMiiMiiniiiBiiiiiBiiniinmnnninnniimninmiinininniimiuiuunniuinminiminmnmmnmnimmmmummmimimmnnm Byrnes Says U.S. Must Keep Up Arms Race WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes says the United States must keep up the arms race with Russia until it is clear that Moscow wants peace and not war, “We cannot afford to be caught napping,” he said in a speech prepared for delivery today at a meeting of American Legionnaires here. He added: “The Russians have shown no signs that they are willing to abandon their aggressive designs.” The 75-year-old South Carolinan who served as secretary of state under President Truman from July 1945 through January 1947, declared: ‘There can be no doubt about what our policy should be if we want peace—peace without surrender or appeasement.” He said this means keeping our military strength strong enough so there will never again come a time when an aggressor nation could hope to defeat us by surprise attack before we could mobilize and strike back effectively.’ This does not mean, he added,’that America should seek world domination or try to impose its way on other nations but rather that it should work for international cooperation based on mutual respect among all peoples desiring freedom and justice.’ In his address prepared for de- livery at an American Legion conference on national security problems; Byrnes also took issue with those who say there is little difference between Communism and democracy except in methods used by each side’for achieving its goals. Such people argue, he noted,,that both systems use propaganda; both employ secret police forces; both engage in espionage; both use military force to achieve their objectives. “But there is a vast difference between the two,” he said. “The Communist system is based on atheism and materialism, while democracy rests on faith in God and belief that man has an immortal soul.” Byrnes declared it would be folly for America to disarm before Russia does so because of the danger of surprise attack by Moscow or its satellites. He added: ‘We must keep up our guard until we are convinced that Soviet leaders have abandoned their aggressive designs.” The former secretary also urged Americans not to become discouraged by setbacks such as those which occurred at Geneva last July when foreign ministers conference broke down over Indochina problems after only 12 days of talks.’ He said this was just one battle lost but not necessarily indicative’of defeat if American people will continue working toward peace through strength with patience, courage and determination.’ Blytheville’s New Fire Truck Is Here Blytheville’s new $
