Whether it sticks the landing could shape exactly what kind of economy Donald Trump inherits.
If the Fed is fortunate, dialing back its past rate increases will allow the economy to continue growing steadily with the unemployment rate leveling off at a historically low level and inflation grinding back to the central bank's 2% goal. If the economy slides into a recession under the weight of earlier increases, Trump would take office as President George W. Bush did in 2001, with the economy heading into a downturn. Alternatively, any resurgence in inflation could force the Fed to stop cutting rates, raising the odds that the economy faces a hard landing later in Trump's term.
"He's inheriting a stable economy, an economy with lots of possibility," said Glenn Hubbard, who was a top adviser to Bush. With the Fed cutting rates, "there's one less headwind."
The Fed began raising rates in 2022 at its fastest pace in four decades to combat inflation that had hit a 40-year high. It paused those hikes in the second half of 2023 and held rates at a two-decade high until September. So-called core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, stood at 2.7% in September, down from 5.6% two years ago.
Analysts on Wall Street are generally less worried about a recession than they were a few weeks ago. Bond yields have moved up sharply as investors anticipate fewer cuts than they did just seven weeks ago, when the Fed lowered its benchmark federal-funds rate by a half percentage point. The latest cut approved Thursday will bring the rate to a range between 4.5% and 4.75%, a level last seen in early 2023.
