I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

At this interest rate meeting, Powell lowered the interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.25-4.5%, in line with market expectations. The released dot plot shows that the interest rate level at the end of 2025 is at 3.9%, in other words, the expectation for rate cuts in the coming year has decreased from four times previously to about two times now. Correspondingly, the Federal Reserve has raised its inflation expectations for next year. What exactly is Powell "worried" about?
