Washington, USA – In a widely expected decision, the US Federal Reserve announced today a 25 basis point cut in interest rates.
This is the second time in a row, in an effort to continue supporting economic
growth amid a global slowdown and declining inflationary pressures.
The Federal Reserve confirmed in its statement that the decision
aims to maintain the momentum of the American economy
and ensure the stability of the labor market.
He noted that monetary policy will remain flexible
and adaptable to future economic data developments.
The move was in line with market expectations,
which had bet on a continuation of the monetary easing approach.
Especially after repeated signals from central bank officials
about the need to stimulate the economy in the face of global volatility.
Following the decision, US stock indices rose
while the dollar weakened slightly against major currencies.
Analysts believe the Fed may proceed with a gradual interest rate cut
if inflation indicators continue to fall below target levels.
