Fed cuts rates 25bps, uncertain on December
The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75–4%, marking a cautious policy shift amid mixed economic signals. The decision, which passed 10–2, reflected diverging opinions within the FOMC. One governor sought a 50bps cut while another opposed any move. The Fed also announced it will end quantitative tightening (balance sheet reduction) on December 1, signaling a potential easing in liquidity conditions.However, uncertainty looms over the December meeting due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which has halted key economic data releases. Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the lack of fresh data complicates policymaking, emphasizing that another rate cut in December is “far from a foregone conclusion.” The data blackout and internal divisions have heightened market uncertainty, leaving investors unsure whether the Fed’s next step will be guided more by politics or incomplete economic evidence.
