Fed Officials Debate Rate Cuts Amid Cooling Inflation
Update: 2025-12-31
Description
Federal Reserve officials discussed further interest rate cuts in December, but remained divided. Minutes from the meeting, released this week, showed most officials support cuts if inflation continues to drop. However, the committee stayed divided on the next steps. The Fed already cut rates three times last year, but the minutes highlighted fewer worries about tariffs spiking inflation. Instead, more members flagged risks of a weakening job market if rates stay too high. Inflation cooled to 2.7% in November, down from 3% the previous month, and unemployment climbed to 4.6% in December, the highest since 2021. A rate cut in January is not guaranteed, as officials need to confirm inflation wont rebound before easing again. Checkout Solipillow.com
