Listen "Fed Lowers Interest Rates but Powell Sows Doubt About December Cut"
Episode Synopsis
P.M. Edition for Oct. 29. The Fed cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point today, as was widely expected. But comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell cast doubt on another cut in December. WSJ chief economics commentator Greg Ip joins to discuss. Plus, a trio of big tech companies report quarterly earnings that exceed analyst expectations… mostly.

Alex Ossola hosts.
