Federal Reserve Cuts Rates, Leaving Markets Cautious

The Federal Reserve surprised markets by reducing the federal funds rate to 3.75%-4.00% on October 29, 2025. This decision, driven by internal debates and a desire to mitigate potential labor market risks despite continued inflation concerns, is already having a ripple effect across sectors like tech and crypto. While cautious optimism prevails in the face of this move, the future remains uncertain as investor sentiment leans toward both hope and caution.
