Kate Davidson and Greg Ip discuss the Federal Reserve's announcement to reduce the number of interest rate decisions next year to six. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh aims to give officials more time for strategic discussions and align better with economic data releases, though markets reacted with concern over potential delays in responding to economic shifts.
