Market Snippet
The final week of October is ending with some spooky economic news. As was widely expected, the Federal Reserve cut the Fed Funds Rate by 0.25% on Wednesday afternoon at the conclusion of their seventh meeting of the year. However, in contrast to market expectations Fed Chair Powell was extremely non-committed to another 25 basis point cut at the Fed’s next meeting in December. Markets had been pricing in expectations for three consecutive rate cuts to finish 2025.
