U.S. Fed cuts rates to 3.75%–4.00% but flags data-gap amid shutdown
Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point rate cut to a target range of 3.75%-4.00% and signalled it will resume limited Treasury purchases.

Markets interpreted the move as supportive but also priced in the uncertainty surrounding future policy and growth. The statement underscored that the cut was expected, while forward guidance and data‐dependency remain key focus points.
