US Federal Reserve cuts interest rate by 25 basis points

The Federal Reserve Board, the US central bank, has reduced the benchmark federal funds rate by another 25 basis points to between 4.25% per annum and 4.50% per annum.
 
This is the last rate cut before the Trump administration takes office on January 21 next year and the Fed says inflation will be hovering at 2.5% next year.
 
Fed chairman Jerome Powell says, against this background, there will only be two rate cuts in 2025.
