interest rates

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point. How much further rates fall could depend on how President-elect Trump approaches his second term.

U.S. employers added just 114,000 jobs in July as the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%. The weaker-than-expected report is adding to fears of an economic slowdown.

The Fed kept interest rates unchanged at the highest in more than two decades. Investors are betting it will start to lower rates at its next meeting in September.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady while signaling it can cut rates only once this year. The decision came after data earlier showed inflation cooling slightly.
