The Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday that it would cut its benchmark interest rate to a target range of 4.75% to 5.00%. This is a half-percentage point reduction from the previous range of 5.25% to 5.50%. Before the rate cut, people had speculated whether the Fed would choose a large rate cut or a smaller adjustment of 25 basis points.

After 11 rate hikes, the Fed has kept interest rates at their previous highs for more than a year.
