Powell signals no more rate cuts soon for economy
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says the recent three rate cuts this year have supported growth but no imminent cuts are planned. He notes strong employment and consumer spending, offset by weak business investment and global headwinds, and urges fiscal policy to play a larger role if the economy slows. Powell warns of an unsustainable path for the budget and debt while stressing Fed independence.
