The Fed is expected to lower interest rates by a quarter percentage point to a new range of 5.0-5.25% from its 23-year high.

The rate cut will mark the first in a series of cuts, as the central bank's new era of easy money will last through 2025 and 2026 .

The actions will officially mark the termination of the most aggressive inflation-fighting campaign since the 1980s .

Fed Chair Jay Powell said in a speech in Jackson Hole , Wyo. , in late August that the Fed “will do everything we can to support a strong labor market as we make further progress toward price stability” Powell will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET Wednesday .
