Fed Holds Steady, India's Growth Revised Down Amid Global Economic Uncertainty

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) is being careful about lowering interest rates, even though some people think they should.

The Fed's job is to help the economy by keeping prices stable and helping people have jobs.

Some believe the Fed is waiting too long, risking a slowdown.

On the other hand, the Fed thinks things are good enough for now and wants to see how things go, particularly with uncertain factors like global trade and possible tariffs.

If the U.S. keeps tariffs on imports, prices could go up for consumers.

The Fed needs to decide whether to act fast or wait to see what happens with the economy.
