The Federal Reserve leaves interest rates unchanged

Marketplace Morning Report ·

2025/07/31

The guardians of interest rates at America's central bank chose not to cut interest rates, given the uncertain effects of tariffs and a resilient overall economy. But the committee's decision was not unanimous. Also on the show: the July Jobs report. The U.S. labor force shrank by 755,000 in May and June, and that's partly what accounts for June's drop in unemployment. We look into why this trend will likely to be a persistent feature of the U.S. labor market later this year and into 2026.

But first: Since the spring, oil rig count has dipped to near-pandemic lows. What gives?

Marketplace Morning Report ·

It's summer grilling season, and beef prices are at an all-time high. Ground beef prices have increased 45% in the last 10 years as cow inventory in the U.S. has dwindled.

Marketplace Morning Report ·

2025/07/17

Marketplace Morning Report ·

2025/07/16
