Скачать или смотреть Fed Minutes Suggest Caution About Further Cuts Early Next Year |

In its December meeting, the Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.5%–3.75%, marking the third cut in 2025. However, the meeting minutes reveal internal divisions among officials regarding future rate cuts. Some members advocated for maintaining current rates to assess the impact of previous reductions on the labor market and economic activity. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that future cuts are not guaranteed, indicating a cautious approach. The committee's projections suggest only one additional 25 basis point cut in 2026, reflecting a more measured stance. This cautious outlook is influenced by concerns over persistent inflation and uncertainties in the labor market. The Fed's decision-making process underscores the delicate balance between stimulating economic growth and controlling inflation.
