🏦💸 The U.S. Federal Reserve kicked off its highly anticipated policy meeting on Tuesday, marking its first gathering since Donald Trump’s return to the White House. With inflation still a hot-button issue, all eyes are on whether the central bank will adjust interest rates—a move that could ripple through global markets.
Analysts describe this meeting as a 'political-economic crossover episode,' blending Trump’s economic agenda with the Fed’s push to stabilize prices. The outcome could shape everything from student loans to startup funding, making it a key moment for young professionals and investors alike. 💼📉
