The Federal Reserve delivered a widely anticipated 25 basis-point rate cut, marking its first reduction since December 2024. The decision pushes the benchmark rate to 4%-4.25%, the lowest level since late 2022. Eleven of twelve voting members supported the MOVE amid signs of moderating economic growth and a cooling labor market.
Fed officials' DOT plot projections reveal divergent expectations, with most anticipating two additional cuts in 2025 and one more in 2026. One outlier suggests deeper easing of 125 basis points this year. The central bank acknowledged elevated inflation while emphasizing data-dependent flexibility for future policy adjustments.
