Federal Reserve Prepares for Interest Rate Cuts Amid Economic Uncertainty
The Federal Reserve is gearing up for another quarter-point interest rate cut as it navigates a complex economic landscape shaped by weak job data and the recent US election. With expectations running high, analysts predict that the Fed will proceed with cuts next week and into December, despite the uncertain post-election outlook. Recent indicators suggest a soft landing for the economy, giving the Fed room to adjust rates. Market responses have shown a recovery following sell-offs, fueled by bets that the Fed will continue its easing policy. As the central bank approaches its November policy meeting, the focus remains on upcoming jobs data that could influence its decision.
