US Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rates By Half a Point (www.nytimes.com)

I was expecting a conservative quarter point reduction, but it seems like the Fed is feeling bullish about inflation and concerned with the labor market, which has cooled much faster than was previously predicted.

What do you think? Will this move come with the positive effects while keeping inflation below 3%?

That is good to hear. Means the inflation rates are probably more under control and lending can be cheaper now.
