I'm not sure that you know how rate cuts are considered. When inflation is considered low, the risk of uncomfortable levels of inflation driven by interest rate cuts are also lowered, which makes rate cuts relatively more likely.

I’ll admit I don’t know all the factors that are considered. But if inflation is going down, that will be a signal to the decision makers that their actions are working.

It still is not at the target of 2.0% though.

Why would they choose to encourage spending and risk it going back up?

Markets will be indifferent to inflation going down; they want people to spend

CPI is a measure of increases in prices of consumer goods.

Inflation is the increase in the currency supply in circulation, and is a steady 8%
