Job Description

The Federal Reserve, the worlds most powerful central bank, has begun lowering interest rates after its most aggressive campaign to tame inflation since the early 1980s. How quickly and deeply will Fed officials cut? Can they bring inflation back to target without tipping the US economy into recession? How are the Feds decisions affecting American households and businesses every day? How will the coming elections change the outlook for the world's biggest economy?
