Yesterday, the Fed announced its first rate cut since 2020 [OC] Posted by USAFacts Tags:DataData Is BeautifulDataIsBeautiful 4 comments Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Tools: Datawrapper, Illustrator Yesterday, the Federal Reserve made its first rate cut since March 2020, reducing it by half a percentage point to a target range of 4.75%–5%. The range had been unchanged since July 2023, when it was set at 5.25%–5.50%. See how the interest rate has changed since 2000 [here](https://usafacts.org/state-of-the-union/economy/). “First rate cut in 4 years” sounds extreme until you remember we had like 0% fed rate for 2 years. Suspiciously before the election, craaaazy timing. Whoever wins gets to take the credit. Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
