+
+The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has set the **federal funds target rate** at a range of **4.25% to 4.50%**, effective since the December 18, 2024 meeting.
+
+### Rate Trajectory (Past 12 Months)
+
+| Meeting Date | Decision | Target Range |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| Dec 18, 2024 | -25 bps | 4.25% – 4.50% |
+| Nov 7, 2024 | -25 bps | 4.50% – 4.75% |
+| Sep 18, 2024 | -50 bps | 4.75% – 5.00% |
+| Jul 31, 2024 | Hold | 5.25% – 5.50% |
+| Jun 12, 2024 | Hold | 5.25% – 5.50% |
+| May 1, 2024 | Hold | 5.25% – 5.50% |
+| Mar 20, 2024 | Hold | 5.25% – 5.50% |
+
+### Key Observations
+
+1. **Easing Cycle Began**: The Fed started cutting rates in September 2024 with an aggressive 50 bps cut, followed by two 25 bps cuts
+2. **Cumulative Reduction**: Rates have been lowered by **100 basis points** total from the cycle peak of 5.25%–5.50%
+3. **Pause Signals**: Recent FOMC language suggests a *cautious approach* to further cuts, citing:
+   - Persistent core inflation above the 2% target
+   - Strong labor market conditions
+   - Uncertainty around fiscal policy changes
+
+### Upcoming FOMC Schedule
+
+The next scheduled meeting is **January 28–29, 2025**. Market expectations via CME FedWatch:
+
+\`\`\`
+Hold (no change):  89.3%
+Cut (-25 bps):     10.7%
+\`\`\`
+
+> **Note**: Market pricing strongly favors a hold at the January meeting, with the first expected cut pushed to mid-2025.

+

+
+| Phase | Period | Action |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| Peak hold | Jul 2023 – Sep 2024 | Held at 5.25%–5.50% |

+| Continued easing | Nov 2024 | Cut 25 bps |
+| Final cut (so far) | Dec 2024 | Cut 25 bps |
+| Current pause | Jan 2025 – present | Hold |
+
+### What's Driving the Pause?
+
+The FOMC has cited three primary factors:
+
+1. **Sticky inflation**: Core PCE at 2.8% remains above the 2% symmetric target
+2. **Resilient growth**: GDP growth of 3.1% in Q3 2024 exceeded expectations
+3. **Policy uncertainty**: New administration trade and fiscal policies create *"unusually elevated"* uncertainty
+
+> The Committee has indicated it will continue to assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks when considering further adjustments to the target range.
+
+### Technical Note
+
+The effective federal funds rate (\`EFFR\`) currently sits at **4.33%**, near the midpoint of the target range. The overnight reverse repo facility (ON RRP) rate is set at **4.25%**.`,
