As expected, the #FED kept interest rates unchanged. Not totally unexpected - there were two dissents. Fed governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller wanted to cut by a quarter percentage point, per the Fed's statement: https://t.co/TfzBkemBQa

As expeded the #FederalReserve voted today to cut #interestrates by a quarter point. The vote wasn't unanimous though: https://t.co/dNIUK6g8Ei

The #FederalReserve says it's prepared to adjust the path of #InterestRates if risks emerge and it's keeping its eye on....."readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments."

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

As expected the #FederalReserve cuts #InterestRates by a quarter percentage point. This time the decision was unanimous. Here's the Fed's statement: https://t.co/bhtYldyx81

@kaylatausche @CNN Important reminder regarding “allow”

Section 10 of Federal Reserve Act says Fed Governors can be “removed for cause by the president”

Legal scholars see the “cause” as a serious misconduct or abuse of power, not disagreeing with the Fed’s non-partisan conduct of monetary policy

Hello @kcoleman - I'm a reporter with Marketplace. I'm on deadline. Could you please DM me your statement on the Center for Countering Digital Hate report? If you could get back to me quickly, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

You're getting bombarded with fundraising pleas from the presidential candidates. But do they really need your money at this point in the race? https://t.co/ZIibljkYVL

🚨#FOMC statement: "Go big or go home"

1⃣ Rate cut 50bps

2⃣ "Further progress" toward 2%

3⃣ Job gains "have slowed"

4⃣ Risks "roughly in balance"

5⃣ "The Committee has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2%

6⃣ One dissent for 25bps

The key sentence in the Fed's statement today on its decision to cut #InterestRates by a half point: "The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate." It's paying closer attention to the labor market.

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

Today's #FOMC decision to lower #InterestRates by a half point was not unanimous: "Voting against this action was Michelle W. Bowman, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point."

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

This line from the #FOMC statement on its #InterestRate decision today is key: "The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate." This means they're paying more attention to rising #Unemployment

The Federal Reserve has kept the benchmark interest rate at nearly 5.5% for a year now.

The Fed is opening the door to a September cut.

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

No surprise here - the #FederalReserve decided to leave interest rates unchanged. The decision was unanimous. Here's the Fed's statement: https://t.co/THCfUN3qMP

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

Fed Chair Powell says today's CPI was encouraging but "We’ll need to see more good data to have more confidence" that #inflation is moving toward their 2% goal.

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

They're projecting just one cut in #InterestRates this year:

your dot plot for the June 2024 FOMC meeting

[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

JUST IN: The Federal Reserve predicts just ONE rate cut in 2024.

4 of the 19 Fed leaders predict NO CUTS
7 of the 19 Fed leaders forecast 1 cut
8 of the 19 forecast 2 cuts

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

The Federal Reserve decision to leave #InterestRates unchanged was unanimous. Here's the statement: https://t.co/NZzTYYcKlR

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

Just now from #FOMC Chair #Powell on #inflation "Further progress toward bringing it down is not assured, and the path forward is uncertain."

[Nancy MarshallGenzer @MarshallGenzer]

The presumption in the #FOMC statement is still a cut in #interest rates: "The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that #inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent."

[Nick Timiraos @NickTimiraos]

The Fed marked to market its policy statement to acknowledge recent inflation setbacks, but didn't change the guidance section

In June, the Treasury redemption cap will fall to $25 billion from $60 billion
