On December 10, 2025, the U.S. Federal Reserve concluded its December FOMC meeting by cutting the federal funds target range by 25 basis points, marking its third consecutive rate cut of the year. Policymakers cited moderating inflation, softer labor market conditions, and tighter financial conditions as justification for further easing. In its updated economic projections, the Fed slightly lowered its 2026 growth outlook while maintaining a gradual approach to future cuts, emphasizing data dependence. Chair Jerome Powell noted that while inflation progress had improved, uncertainties around global growth and geopolitical risks remained elevated. The decision reinforced expectations that the Fed is transitioning from restrictive policy toward a more neutral stance, with significant implications for global liquidity conditions, asset valuations, and cross-border capital flows.
