US EditionFederal Reserve cuts key rate by quarter-point and signals two more cuts this year
The Federal Reserve's 0.25% rate cut reflects concerns over a slowing labor market and signals potential additional cuts this year amid persistent inflation above target.
- The US Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points on September 17, 2025, lowering the target range to 4.00%–4.25%.
- This first rate cut in 2025 followed earlier signals from Chair Jerome Powell in August about slowing economic growth and rising unemployment risks.
- The Fed noted that job gains have slowed, unemployment inched up, and inflation remains somewhat elevated amid ongoing tariff-driven price pressures.
- Adam Stockton advised consumers that deposit rates will likely decline but not disappear, saying "that scenario is probably not where we're headed," with top savings APYs around 4%.
- Following the cut, banks are expected to lower deposit rates, so savers should prioritize locking in high-yield accounts or CDs now before rates lessen further.
