The Possibility of the Federal Reserve Cutting Interest Rates The possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, in the context of both a decrease in initial jobless claims and a simultaneous decrease in ADP employment numbers, depends on a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors: If the inflation rate remains within a controllable range, and there are clear signs of a significant slowdown in economic growth, the Federal Reserve may consider cutting interest rates to stimulate economic growth. If the inflation rate rises too quickly, or if there is a severe imbalance in the supply and demand of the labor market, the Federal Reserve may adopt a tightening policy or keep interest rates unchanged.
