U.S. Interest Rates
U.S. Federal Reserve Reluctantly Cuts Rates
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point on Thursday as its policymakers began taking stock of what could become a more complex economic landscape when President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the results of Tuesday's presidential election, which paved the way for a U.S. chief executive who has pledged widespread deportation of immigrants, broad-based tariffs, and tax cuts, would have no "near-term" impact on U.S. monetary policy.
