Japan PM Takaichi calls PM Modi, U.S. Fed cuts rates
Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing hope to begin a “golden chapter” in Japan-India relations. Both leaders agreed to deepen cooperation in security, trade, technology, and cultural exchange under their “Joint Vision for the Next Decade.”
The U.S. Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, citing slowing growth and labor-market weakness. Two policymakers dissented — one opposing any change and another seeking a larger cut. The move highlights the Fed’s effort to support the economy while managing inflation risks.
Together, these developments underscore shifting global priorities — with Asia’s partnerships strengthening and U.S. economic policy taking a cautious turn amid uncertainty.
