Fed rate decision September 2025
SHARE

The Federal Reserve made a significant move on Wednesday, approving a rate cut and indicating that two more cuts are on the horizon before the end of the year. The decision comes as concerns grow over the U.S. labor market, despite inflation still being a factor.

In a vote of 11-to-1, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point, bringing the overnight funds rate to a range between 4.00% – 4.25%. The only dissenting vote came from newly installed Governor Stephen Miran, who advocated for a half-point cut instead.

Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, who were expected to potentially dissent, both supported the 25 basis point reduction. All three governors were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has been pushing for more aggressive rate cuts from the Fed.

The post-meeting statement highlighted that economic activity has “moderated,” job gains have slowed, and inflation remains somewhat elevated. The committee expressed concern over the uncertainty in the economic outlook and the rising downside risks to employment.

Following the rate cut announcement, stock markets were volatile, with major averages mixed. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell described the cut as a move for “risk management” rather than solely to boost a weak economy.

During a news conference after the meeting, Powell emphasized the concerns about the labor market and noted that the decision to cut rates puts monetary policy in a “more neutral” position. The Fed’s “dot plot” of individual expectations indicated two more cuts before the year’s end, with a wide range of views among committee members.

The decision to cut rates was met with political drama, as President Trump has been vocal about his desire for lower rates. The appointment of Governor Stephen Miran, who is seen as a loyalist to the president, has raised questions about the Fed’s traditional independence from political influence.

Despite conflicting signals in the economy, with solid economic growth and consumer spending, the labor market remains a point of concern. The unemployment rate has risen to 4.3%, the highest since October 2021, and job creation has been stagnant this year.

Overall, the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut rates and signal more cuts in the future reflects the ongoing challenges in the U.S. economy and the central bank’s efforts to navigate uncertain economic conditions.
