US Fed hints at interest rate cuts

The U.S. Federal Reserve has initiated interest rate cuts for the first time since December 2024, reducing the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage points to a range of 4.00%–4.25%. This decision, announced on September 17, 2025, reflects growing concerns over a cooling labor market and a slowdown in economic growth. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that while inflation remains above the 2% target, the risks associated with a weakening job market necessitate a cautious approach to monetary policy
