分析师: Fed分歧出人意料,Warsh上任后料困难重重
Odaily Planet Daily News Analysts Anna and Stuart pointed out that today's decision to keep interest rates unchanged was expected, but the dissenting opinions were striking. It is quite ironic that Powell, widely seen as a consensus-builder, presided over the meeting with the highest number of dissenting votes during his tenure as Fed Chair, which was likely his last. This policy statement also upgraded the description of inflation from "somewhat elevated" to "elevated." Coupled with the apparent divisions within the committee, this highlights the challenge Kevin Warsh faces in achieving the interest rate cuts that Trump desires. Unless there is a significant deterioration in the labor market, it is difficult to imagine this divided committee taking action to cut rates anytime soon. (Jinshi)
