The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by a quarter percentage point Wednesday and scaled back the number of cuts it expects to make next year.
In a split vote, the central bank voted to reduce its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to a new range of 4.25%-4.5%, initiating its third consecutive rate cut of 2024 despite signs that inflation isn’t entirely going away.
The recent dip in oil prices, attributed to demand concerns arising from economic updates from Germany and China, highlights the ever-changing dynamics in the global energy market. With Brent and WTI crude prices falling to their lowest in a week, this movement underscores the sensitivity of oil markets to geopolitical and economic signals.
Brent Crude February futures fell 1% to $73.19 a barrel, the lowest since December 10. US crude futures due in January fell 0.9%, or 63 cents to $70.08 a barrel.
That puts both crude benchmarks on track for their lowest closes since Dec. 10 and cut the premium of Brent over WTI to a 12-week low of $3.56 a barrel, based on the February contracts.
U.S. stocks finished lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its longest losing streak since February 1978, as investors digested the strong retail-sales data and awaited the Federal Reserve's policy decision, due out on Wednesday afternoon.
The Dow fell 0.6% to end near 43,450, according to preliminary data from FactSet.
The S&P 500 was off 0.4% to finish around 6,050.
The Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.3%, ending around 20,109.
