Description

The Federal Reserve has lowered its main interest rate for the third time in three meetings, bringing it to a range of 3.5% to 3.75%. This neutral zone suggests a balanced economy, but the future of rate cuts is uncertain. Chair Jerome Powell hints at a more cautious approach, depending on new economic data and inflation concerns. Economists predict only one more quarter-point cut next year, but upcoming reports could influence the Feds decisions. The Fed faces challenges managing both unemployment and inflation, with tariffs contributing to this years inflation.
