Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nick Timiraos, often referred to as the "Federal Reserve mouthpiece," commented on the October Fed meeting minutes: "At the Fed officials' October meeting, the division deepened regarding whether to cut interest rates next month, leading to growing unease among policymakers (potentially forming a narrow majority) about a December rate cut. Several participants assessed that a further rate cut in December might be appropriate if economic developments met their expectations for the upcoming interim meeting. Many participants indicated that, based on their economic outlook, maintaining the target range unchanged for the remainder of the year might be appropriate. 'Many' implies a larger number than 'several.' The December vote looks set to be very close." (Golden Ten)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the minutes of the Federal Reserve's October policy meeting revealed significant disagreement among policymakers regarding last month's rate cut. Despite warnings that the rate cut could hinder efforts to curb inflation—which has remained above the 2% target for the past four and a half years—the decision was ultimately made to lower rates. The minutes stated that "many participants supported lowering the target range for the federal funds rate," but also noted that some members who supported the rate cut were equally accepting of maintaining the current rate. Several officials directly opposed the rate cut, expressing concern that "the Committee's progress toward achieving its 2% inflation target has stalled, and noted that if inflation fails to return to 2% in a timely manner, long-term inflation expectations could rise." The minutes added that "most participants noted that further reductions in the policy rate could exacerbate the risk of persistently high inflation, or be misinterpreted by the market as a lack of commitment to achieving the 2% inflation target." These minutes reflect officials' efforts to reach consensus in the absence of sufficient data: weighing the dual risks of rising inflation and a weak job market, while also warning that a "sharp revaluation" of investment in artificial intelligence could lead to a "disorderly stock market decline."

Odaily Planet Daily reports that after the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced it would not release its October jobs report, traders expect the Federal Reserve to be more likely to hold off on rate cuts at its December policy meeting. A sell-off occurred in the federal funds futures market after the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed there was insufficient data to release the report. Traders reduced their expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut at the December 10 meeting. They now expect the Fed to keep the benchmark interest rate in the 3.75% to 4% range. The swap market, which links to the Fed's policy rate, is currently pricing in only a 6-basis-point rate cut at the December meeting, and only a 19-basis-point cut by January. Before Wednesday, the swap market was pricing in 11 basis points, implying a roughly 50/50 chance of a Fed rate cut within three weeks. Leah Traub, portfolio manager at Lord Abbet, said, "We already knew there wouldn't be October unemployment data, but the November data won't be released until after the Fed meeting, which should be disappointing news for the market. Given the division within the Federal Open Market Committee, this reduces the likelihood of a rate cut." (Jinshi)
