Most Fed officials see rate cuts coming

توضیحات:

Federal Reserve officials were divided at their June meeting over how soon and how much to cut interest rates, balancing concerns about tariff-driven inflation with signs of economic and labor market slowing. Minutes released Wednesday showed they unanimously held rates steady at 4.25%-4.5%, while most expected at least some cuts this year if inflation stayed manageable. Views varied widely, from wanting cuts as soon as July to favoring none in 2025, CNBC has reported. Policymakers agreed to stay cautious given lingering inflation risks and a strong but slowing economy, with uncertainty over the impact of Trump’s shifting tariff policies also weighing on their outlook.
