This decision reflects a cautious approach to managing economic risks, balancing concerns over inflation and employment [1][2][9].

For instance, interest rate futures are pricing in more cuts compared to the Fed's dot plot [21][28]. - The stock market outlook remains positive, with potential for further gains, particularly in technology and cyclical sectors, as the Fed's actions may stimulate demand and improve economic conditions [26][33].
