US Federal Reserve cuts interest rates for first time in nine months
The US Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates by a quarter percentage point, bringing its benchmark rate to a range of 4.00 to 4.25 percent. All but one of the 12 members of the monetary policy committee voted in favor of the decision, with the sole dissent coming from newly appointed governor Stephen Miran, a trusted ally of President Trump. And, Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, has quit the company, accusing its parent firm, Unilever, of silencing the brand’s social activism.
