Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
