Below the Quote on Fed Rate Cut Announcement from Mr. Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd 

The Federal Reserve’s decision to trim rates by 25 basis points to a 3.75%-4.00% range was widely expected, yet markets greeted it with measured optimism. By pivoting slightly toward supporting a cooling labour market while acknowledging lingering inflation risks, the Fed signalled a subtle shift from inflation-fighting to job protection. The move to end balance sheet runoff by December added a layer of reassurance. However, Chair Powell’s reminder that further cuts are not assured kept uncertainty alive. Investors are now navigating a delicate balance of optimism and caution, with market volatility underscoring the Fed’s data-dependent path ahead.
