Hello Family 👷♂️👷♀️ #FOMCWatch
The last meeting of the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) concluded on December 10, 2025, with a 25 basis point interest rate cut. This is the third consecutive reduction by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
Key Highlights:
Rate Cut: The target range for the federal funds rate has been lowered to 3.50% - 3.75%.
Split Vote: The decision was made with a vote of 9 in favor and 3 against, indicating significant disagreement within the committee on the future direction of monetary policy. Members who voted against the cut express differing views on the priorities between inflation and employment.
Future Outlook (Dot Plot): The new economic projections (the "dot plot") indicate a more gradual path of future reductions, with the majority of members expecting only one more cut in 2026 and another cut in 2027.
Focus on Employment: The committee judged that downside risks to employment have increased in recent months, and the decision to cut rates reflects the priority of supporting the maximum level of employment while remaining committed to bringing inflation back to the 2% target.
