Economists Forecast Fed's Cautious Rate Cut Approach

The Federal Reserve is poised to implement its third consecutive interest rate cut in December, lowering the benchmark rate to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. However, economists surveyed by Bloomberg anticipate a more cautious approach in 2025, with only three rate cuts expected next year instead of the previously projected four. This shift is attributed to persistent inflation concerns and a robust economy, prompting the Fed to balance its monetary policy carefully.
