【Heavyweight】The Federal Reserve cuts interest rates again! A drop of 25 basis points has been implemented, marking the 6th rate cut in this round. A monthly liquidity injection of $40 billion in 2026 is expected to stimulate the economic market!

On the 10th, the Federal Reserve concluded its latest monetary policy meeting, announcing another rate cut of 25 basis points, lowering the federal funds rate target range to 3.5%-3.75%.

▍This rate cut was anticipated by the market

This rate cut aligns with the majority of previous predictions and marks the Federal Reserve's third consecutive rate cut of 25 basis points since September of this year. Counting from September 2024, this is already the sixth rate cut in this cycle.

▍What did the Federal Reserve say?

In the post-meeting statement, the Federal Reserve pointed out:

· The U.S. economy is still growing moderately, but job creation has slowed.

· The unemployment rate rose in September, and inflation levels remain elevated.

· There is a high level of uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, with recent increases in risks to the job market.

It is precisely the recent weakness in employment data that has raised expectations for this rate cut.

▍A brief review: The timeline of this round of rate cuts

· September 18, 2024 ➝ Cut by 50 basis points to 4.75%-5% (the first and largest cut in this round)

· November 7, 2024 ➝ Cut by 25 basis points to 4.5%-4.75%

· December 19, 2024 ➝ Cut by 25 basis points to 4.25%-4.5%

· September 17, 2025 ➝ Cut by 25 basis points to 4.0%-4.25%

· October 29, 2025 ➝ Cut by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.0%

· December 10, 2025 ➝ Cut by 25 basis points to 3.5%-3.75% (this time)

The rhythm is clear: a strong start (50 basis points), followed by steady steps, each time 25 basis points.

▍What’s next?

Although there were previously disagreements within the Federal Reserve regarding the pace of rate cuts, economic data seems to provide direction. Whether to cut rates further will still closely monitor employment and inflation trends. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #加密市场反弹
