Wall Street emerged largely unshaken from a high-stakes Federal Reserve meeting, as policymakers delivered a well-telegraphed rate cut that elicited muted moves across markets.
The announcement was followed by Jerome Powell’s remarks, underscoring the tension between the Fed’s two mandates that suggested “there’s no risk-free path” ahead. After briefly rising, the S&P 500 closed down by a mere 0.1%, weighed down by tech. Bonds saw small losses. It was the seventh straight time the dollar rose on a Fed day, the longest such winning streak since 2001.
The reaction reflected a central bank striking a temperate posture — acknowledging cooling in the labor market and signaling it will remain data-dependent amid price risks.
The Federal Open Market Committee voted 11-1 to cut the target range for the federal funds rate to 4%-4.25%. Looking ahead, Powell said the Fed was now in a “meeting-by-meeting situation.”
Policymakers now see two additional quarter-point cuts this year. That’s one more than projected in June. They foresee one quarter-point cut in 2026 and one in 2027.
They also slightly upgraded their median outlook for growth in 2026. They also forecast modestly higher inflation next year.
