from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

P.M. Edition for Jan. 28. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, and though officials signaled openness to cutting rates again, they didn’t indicate when that might happen. WSJ investing columnist Spencer Jakab discusses the decision and its implications. Plus, Amazon says it’s cutting 16,000 jobs, bringing its total cuts since October to about 30,000. And two Border Patrol agents who shot Alex Pretti and the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis have been put on leave. Alex Ossola hosts.
