🚨 BREAKING:
The U.S. Federal Reserve is preparing to deliver its final interest rate decision of the year on December 9–10, 2025, and markets are betting on a 0.25% rate cut the third reduction this year. Economic signals are weakening: job growth is cooling, layoffs are increasing, and previous employment reports have been revised lower. Meanwhile, inflation remains stuck above the 2% target, partly influenced by Trump-era tariffs. Inside the Fed, the debate is intensifying some policymakers want deeper cuts to support growth, while others remain worried about stubborn inflation. President Trump has openly pressured Chair Jerome Powell, whose term expires in May 2026, fueling speculation over who may replace him. Investors are watching closely, as this announcement could jolt markets and set the tone for the Fed’s path in 2026.
