US Fed cuts interest rates by 25 basis points
The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) announced on November 7 its decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. The move follows a 50 basis point cut that was made in September.
As many market experts predicted, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) cut the federal funds benchmark interest rate to a range between 4,50% and 4,75%.
“In support of its goals, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 1% to 4%,” the central bank said in a statement. “Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace. Inflation has progressed toward the Committee’s 4,50% objective but remains somewhat elevated.”
Bitcoin’s price reacted immediately after the Fed’s announcement, showing significant appreciation.
