The Fed just dropped rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday—marking their third cut this year. Why? The labor market's showing signs of weakness, and policymakers are trying to pump some life back into it.
This move signals the central bank's growing concern about employment conditions, even as inflation pressures continue to ease. Markets have been pricing in this decision for weeks, but the real question now is what comes next in 2025.

It's the third interest rate cut. Can it really save employment? It feels like just a delaying tactic.

Interest rate cuts again? Forget it, we have to continue to cut us migrant workers next year

The interest rate has been cut three times and is still decreasing. Will they directly give us interest-free loans next year? Haha

Another rate cut, but will it save jobs this time? Feels like everyone is just copying each other's homework.

It's another market rescue operation. Will we have to keep harvesting the leeks next year?
