Here’s my take.

If the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 25 basis points (0.25%), it would be seen as a more cautious, measured approach to easing monetary policy

For instance, in the stock market, a 25 bps cut might lead to a positive but modest reaction in the stock market, especially if investors had expected this move. It could be seen as supportive of growth without signaling major concern about the economy.

Another good instance is the effect on economic growth. A smaller cut might indicate that the Fed is being cautious about inflation and not seeing an urgent need to stimulate the economy aggressively. It may help businesses and consumers by slightly lowering borrowing costs.
