25 basis points cut expected

With inflation easing and the labor market softening, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates again on Thursday, this time by 25 basis points. However, experts also say that the main focus is on the possibility that after Donald Trump’s return to the White House, he may try to exert significant influence on the policy decisions of central banks.
