On September 17, the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 0.5%, but Senator Warren believes that the Fed needs to take faster action to save the labor market. Bitcoin skeptic Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other Democratic senators wrote to the Federal Reserve on Monday, calling for more aggressive rate cuts than the market expects. "We write today to urge the Federal Reserve (Fed) to reduce the federal funds rate (currently a two-decade high of 5.3%) by 75 basis points (bps) at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on September 17-18, 2024," the senators wrote.
