The U.S. Federal Reserve has issued their final rate cut of 2024, saying that what happens next year will depend on the actions and policies of the incoming Trump administration. Some at the reserve has signaled that the rate cuts will slow down as business leaders say inflation is not coming down enough.

The Federal Reserve revealed its rhythm for 2025: just two rate cuts. In a recent interview, Mary Daly, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, said they are “very comfortable” with the decision.

The Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter-point — its third cut this year — but also signaled that it expects to reduce rates more slowly next year.

The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates one more time this year. In their recent meeting, the Fed decided to cut rates by a quarter of a percentage point, dropping rates to 4.25% to 4.5%. This move was largely expected by economists.
