Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rates for Third Consecutive Meeting Amid Internal Divisions

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the third consecutive time, lowering the federal-funds rate to between 3.5% and 3.75%, signaling a cautious approach with little appetite for further cuts. The decision reflects internal divisions between inflation-wary hawks and employment-focused doves, with concerns over inflation remaining above target and a cooling labor market. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's term ending soon adds uncertainty to future policy. The Fed emphasized data dependency for future moves, highlighting upcoming employment and inflation reports as critical for decision-making.
