The Federal Reserve will announce its latest interest rate decision and monetary policy statement at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on Thursday, June 13. A few hours before the announcement of the interest rate decision, the U.S. Department of Labor will release the latest inflation data, providing the market with another key clue about the health of the U.S. economy. Fed Chairman Powell will hold a press conference at 2:30 Beijing time to interpret and elaborate on the resolution and policy statement.

According to current market expectations, the Federal Reserve is likely to maintain its benchmark interest rate unchanged at the 5.25%-5.50% range set in July last year. This decision may be based on a prudent assessment of the current economic situation and continued observation of key economic indicators such as inflation and employment.

As an important reference factor for the Fed's decision-making, inflation data is expected to provide the market with more clues about the future direction of monetary policy. If inflation data continues to remain stable or decline, this may further support the Fed's decision to maintain the current interest rate level. Conversely, if inflation data unexpectedly rises, it may have an impact on the Fed's decision and may trigger market expectations of future interest rate hikes.
