Federal Reserve officials have signaled a potential slowdown in the pace of key U.S. interest rate hikes, though economists warn that borrowers should not expect immediate relief.

The latest policy discussions highlight a cautious approach as policymakers weigh inflation risks against economic growth. Market reactions and long-term borrowing conditions will depend on how sustained this shift proves to be.
