US EditionAsian Shares Are Mixed After US Stocks Remained Near Record Levels Following the Fed’s Rate Cut
- On September 18, 2025, the Federal Reserve lowered its primary interest rate for the first occasion this year, while Wall Street equities continued trading close to all-time highs.
- The Fed had held rates steady earlier due to concerns that tariffs would raise prices, while inflation remains stubbornly above the 2% target with a slowing job market.
- Following the rate cut and projections of further cuts by year-end, U.S. crude prices edged down to $63.95, Asian shares mostly rose led by tech stocks, and key indexes fluctuated.
- Fed Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that interest rate projections are not guarantees, saying, "they're only projections," as markets adjust to expectations for future easing.
- The rate cut and outlook imply ongoing Fed efforts to balance inflation and employment, suggesting the central bank plans two more cuts this year and another in 2026.
