The U.S. Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points again — part of a cycle of easing that has unfolded since late 2024 — bringing rates down to roughly 3.50%–3.75%.
Chair Jerome Powell and the Fed project only limited additional cuts ahead, indicating a more cautious approach even as economic risks grow.
The decision reflects tension between a weakening labor market and persistent inflation above target, and internal Fed divisions on policy direction.

📊 Why This Matters
Rate cuts are usually intended to support economic growth by reducing borrowing costs for consumers and businesses.
But when the Fed lowers rates because growth is slowing, markets often interpret that as a warning signal about economic health, which can amplify recession fears — both among investors and analysts.

📈 Recession Fears Rising
Economists and markets have recently increased recession probability estimates as growth slows, hiring weakens, or downside risks mount. For example, some forecasts have raised the 12-month recession chance significantly based on slowing activity and trade uncertainties.
Analysts caution that historically, when the Fed resumes cutting after a long pause, it sometimes precedes recessions — though not every time.
Markets remain uncertain and volatile, with differing views on whether cuts reflect a looming downturn or a pre-emptive step to avoid one.
🧠 Fed’s Messaging Is Mixed
While the Fed has eased policy, officials have also signaled a possible pause and highlighted that inflation remains above target — suggesting they’re unwilling to cut too far too fast.
Internal disagreement at the Fed underscores how difficult it is to balance growth support with inflation control.

🧠 In Simple Terms
✔️ Lower interest rates can reduce borrowing costs and support spending/investment.
❗ But if cuts are driven by economic weakness, they can signal slowdown, which markets and economists often interpret as heightened recession risk.
