Description

The Federal Reserves policy committee, known as the Fed, lowered its key interest rate by a quarter-point, as anticipated. However, the decision wasnt unanimous, with three members voting against it. This move is influenced by a slowing job market and persistent inflation, which are pulling the Fed in different directions. The Fed must now decide whether to prioritize controlling inflation or boosting job creation, as lowering rates can reignite inflation while higher rates can slow down hiring.
