Nick Timiraos' latest disclosure is a bit interesting - almost half of the Fed's members were unwilling to cut interest rates at this year's final meeting.
But the decision is still with Powell. Even if the internal noise is so loud, he seems determined to push the interest rate cut over.
This week's highlight is one: Can Powell deal with those oppositions? Suppress the opposition votes?
The operating idea is actually quite clear - first cut 25 basis points to pull the interest rate to the range of 3.5%-3.75%; Then lay a foreshadowing in the post-meeting statement, implying that you want to relax later? The threshold has to be raised.
The data is more straightforward: 5 of the 12 voting members of the policy committee have made it clear that they do not see the need to cut interest rates. Zoom in to all 19 members? 10 people have this attitude.
Looking back at the interest rate cut in October, only one person on the table voted against it. In addition, although there is also a director who is also opposed, the reason is that it is not reduced enough.
This internal disagreement has a significant impact on market sentiment.

Powell is forcing a rate cut, pushing forward despite so much internal opposition.

Powell is determined to surrender, and the internal opposition is so strong that it can be suppressed, which is awesome

powell's literally trying to force through a cut while half the fed's sitting there like "nah fam" — the actual alpha here is watching if he can suppress those dissent votes or if this blows up into a signaling disaster

Powell's wave is a bit hard, half of the opposition is to push. Whether the market eats or not is a different statement

Powell's chess move is ruthless enough, and half of the people oppose it can push hard, and it is a game of right to speak
