According to a recent analysis by Swedish bank Nordea, the Federal Reserve is holding back on any immediate moves as trade policy and economic uncertainty cloud the outlook. The Fed is opting for patience, waiting for clearer signals before making rate decisions — a stance that markets interpret as slightly hawkish, reducing the odds of a rate cut at the June meeting.

While inflation remains above target and could rise further due to tariffs, Nordea believes the Fed will ultimately lean toward supporting growth over reacting to temporary inflation spikes — provided long-term inflation expectations stay anchored.
