Silent Dissenters as Fed Cuts, US Seizes Sanctioned Oil Tanker off Venezuela | The Pulse 12/11/2025

The US Federal Reserve cut rates by a quarter percentage point for the third consecutive time. The vote was split 9-3 and details from the meeting show growing division among policymakers. The Fed maintained its outlook for just one cut in 2026, but the wording of its statement was subtly altered to suggest greater uncertainty around the timing.

The US military seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, in a serious escalation of tensions. The tanker was sanctioned by the US in 2022, for supporting Iranian oil exports. Venezuela’s leaders described it as “blatant theft” and an “act of piracy.”
