The Federal Reserve is likely to resume lowering interest rates in September, but it won’t be an easy call for the central bankers, economists said Thursday in the wake of the June jobs report.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Tuesday he would not rule out a potential interest rate cut as soon as this month. The remarks come amid a public pressure campaign from President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly urged Powell to slash interest rates.

The Fed Chair on Tuesday reiterated the central bank plans to "wait and learn more" about the impact of tariffs on inflation before lowering rates.
