Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

While future cuts are anticipated, uncertainties surrounding President-elect Trump's ambitious economic agenda, which may include large tax cuts and increased tariffs, could complicate the Fed's monetary strategies, potentially reigniting inflation. Fed Chair Jerome Powell reaffirmed the Fed's independence from political influence, emphasizing the need to respond to economic data rather than speculation.
