The Federal Reserve is likely to resume lowering interest rates in September, but it won’t be an easy call for the central bankers, economists said Thursday in the wake of the June jobs report.

The odds of a rate cut at the Federal Reserve's next meeting evaporated after a resilient jobs report for June alleviated concerns about a slowing US economy.

Headline numbers from the June jobs report took pressure off the Federal Reserve to consider an interest-rate cut later this month, likely leaving the central bank on hold at least until the fall.
