Odaily Planet Daily News According to the New York Times, the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes show that when Fed officials cut interest rates at a meeting this month, they avoided making clear hints about what might happen next. The minutes released on Tuesday provided little signal about whether Fed officials might cut rates at the December meeting or how much they might cut in 2025. Economic data has outperformed economists' expectations in recent months. The job market, which had been showing signs of cooling, has stabilized. Given this, some economists have been wondering whether the Fed could pause rate cuts at the upcoming meeting. However, the November meeting minutes offered little clear guidance, only stating that, over time, it may be appropriate for interest rates to 'gradually' decline.
