The Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 25bps during its September 2025 meeting, bringing it to the 4.00%–4.25% range, in line with expectations.
It is the first reduction in borrowing costs since December. Newly appointed Governor Stephen Miran stood alone in voting against the quarter-point move, favoring a half-point cut instead. Policymakers noted that recent indicators suggest that growth of economic activity moderated in the first half of the year.
Job gains have slowed, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. Inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. The Fed also signaled two additional cuts before year's end.
