The Federal Reserve’s recent decision to cut interest rates by 0.5% is a significant shift, marking the first reduction in four years. This decision doesn’t just affect the U.S. economy; it has global implications that investors should pay attention to. Let’s explore how these rate cuts impact international markets, starting with currency exchange rates.
