  • The U.S. central bank released revised economic projections in conjunction with the policy decision, predicting 1.6% growth this year, 1.8% growth in 2026, and 1.9% growth in 2027.
  • In reaction to the deteriorating labor market, Fed Chair Jerome Powell described the policy decision as a risk-management cut and stated that the central bank was in a “meeting-by-meeting situation” with regard to the rate outlook.
