The primary reason shown to reduce interest rate is to boost job market. But the hiring freeze is due to tariffs. So, what motivation is there to lower interest? Maybe to help with the real estate? Houses are not selling in my area, there is no buyer visiting.
Lower interest may make inflation worse without helping the job market.
Stock market is going up in interest rate cut expectations. Will the stock market go down if interest rate is not changed?
Why lower interest rate? If left unchanged, will it hurt or benefit stock market. It seems jobs are on hold due to tariff and AI, and not by interest rate.

It’s what the pedophile in chief wants
Businesses borrow money too. Lower interest rates means it’s cheaper to borrow money. Then you’ve got capital to invest in R&D, sales, projects, headcount, raises, etc.
Right now, the reason is entirely political. His royal highness wishes to have low rates and is threatening the jobs of the professionals unless they comply.
STG these have to be bot posts.
The most recent job revisions and the ones from the same period last year were from the previous administration, adding up to 1.5 million
Correct, tariffs and AI are worsening the job market and increasing uncertainty.
Lowering the fed funds rates will not magically change these factors but will apply an independent and opposite force towards increased investment and a better job market.
What is unclear at this time is how much of an effect the lower interest rates will have, and whether additional measure like QE are needed.
