Analyst: Fed appears to be entering a new phase, with internal divergences becoming more complex

Odaily Planet Daily News Analyst Anstey pointed out that we seem to be in uncharted territory and need more time to understand the current situation. We need to note that regarding the interest rate decision itself, the only dissenting voice was Milan, who wanted a 0.25 percentage point cut. Meanwhile, the other three members—Hammack, Kashkari, and Logan—believe it is appropriate to keep rates unchanged today. Interestingly, these three members who dissented on policy direction largely interpret this statement as leaning toward easing. Because literally, it is obviously neutral: the committee will adjust its monetary policy stance as appropriate based on actual circumstances to prevent risks that could impede the achievement of the committee's objectives. The "objectives" are, of course, maintaining price stability and achieving maximum employment. But in my view, these three seem to believe that this statement is primarily aimed at the employment aspect of the mandate. (Jin Shi)
