Federal Reserve cuts key rate by sizable half-point, signaling end to its inflation fight
SUMMARY: The Federal Reserve has cut its benchmark interest rate by half a point, marking its first reduction in over four years. This move aims to bolster the slowing job market, lowering the key rate to approximately 4.8% from a previous high of 5.3%. As inflation has decreased from a peak of 9.1% in mid-2022 to 2.5%, the Fed plans additional cuts in upcoming meetings. Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the importance of supporting employment and stated their commitment to stability over political influences. The decision reflects a shift from combating inflation towards fostering economic growth while addressing rising unemployment concerns.

Participants include Diane Mills and Anna Cannington from Mississippi, Becky Bussey from Colorado, and Rebekah Thomas from Vermont.
