02:45 PM EDT, 09/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Fed Governor Stephen Miran (voter) said in an interview with CNBC that he does not see a large impact on inflation from the Trump Administration's tariffs and emphasized the slowing of the job market as a reason to cut interest rates rapidly.
Miran said that in a speech on Sept. 22, he will explain his reasons for his dissent at the September FOMC meeting for a 50-basis point rate cut.

(Sept. 17) The Federal Open Market Committee lowered the federal funds rate by 25 basis points at its meeting to a range of 4.00% to 4.25%.
