Free Access**MNI POLICY: FOMC Cuts By 25 bps, Repeats 'Will Act As Approp'>
--Rate Cuts Due to Global Developments, Muted Inflation
--Uncertainties Remain; To Continue to Monitor Incoming Data
--George, Rosengren Dissent In Favor of No Cut
By Jean Yung, Kevin Kastner, Alexandra Kelley and Brooke Migdon
WASHINGTON (MNI) - The following are the key points from the
FOMC statement released Wednesday:
--The FOMC cut rates by a quarter point to a target range of 2.00%
to 2.25% as expected and ended quantitative tightening two months
earlier than planned (as of Aug. 1). Dissenters Esther George and Eric
Rosengren favored no cut at this meeting.
--Repeated guidance that it will "act as appropriate to sustain the
expansion." Officials will "continue to monitor" incoming information,
as uncertainties to the outlook "remain." That language signals slightly
less worry over the outlook compared to June, when the committee said
uncertainties "have increased" and it would "closely monitor" the
situation.
--Rate cut justified by "implications of global developments for
the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures." Sustained
growth, a strong labor market and inflation near 2% remain the most
likely outcomes.
--Minor revisions to economic review in first paragraph. Growth
"has been rising at a moderate rate." Household spending "has picked up"
but business investment "has been soft." Market-based measures of
inflation compensation "remain low."
--No technical adjustment to IOER rate other than to lower it to
2.10%.
