Will the Fed cut interest rates again before the end of 2025?
Fed Cuts Rates Again—But Leaves December Move Uncertain
The Federal Reserve just executed its second interest rate cut of 2025, lowering the benchmark rate by 0.25 percentage points to a range of 3.75%–4.00%. The decision reflects rising concerns over a cooling labor market and mounting economic uncertainty. However, the central bank’s next move remains unclear. Policymakers remain divided, with two voting members dissenting from the most recent cut, and the Fed citing limited available data due to recent government shutdown disruptions. As mortgage rates fall and markets react to potential easing, investors and analysts are watching closely. Another rate cut in December is still possible, but the Fed’s stance suggests caution ahead. This poll asks the public whether they expect at least one more rate cut before 2025 ends.
