Federal Reserve Cuts Rates 25 Basis Points, With Two Members Voting for Steady Policy

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell

The anticipated move comes as policymakers are still operating without several key economic data releases that remain delayed or suspended due to the U.S. government shutdown.

What to know:

  • As expected, the Federal Reserve trimmed its benchmark fed funds rate range by 25 basis points on Wednesday afternoon.
  • Today's cut is notable given the unusually large amount of public dissension among Fed members for further monetary ease.
  • Two Fed members dissented from the rate cut, preferring instead to hold rates steady, while one member voted for a 50 basis point rate cut.
