#BREAKING | Federal Reserve Cuts Key Interest Rate by 25 Basis Points
The U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 0.25% reduction in its benchmark federal funds rate on Wednesday, lowering it to a target range of 4.00%-4.25%. The decision, widely anticipated amid cooling inflation and softening labor market conditions, marks the central bank's first rate cut since holding steady at 4.25%-4.50% in July.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell highlighted rising downside risks to employment in his post-meeting remarks, signaling potential for additional easing before the end of 2025. Markets reacted positively, with U.S. stocks climbing and the dollar weakening against major currencies.
