Federal Reserve's October Meeting Highlights Internal Divisions

According to BlockBeats, Nick Timiraos, often referred to as the "Federal Reserve's mouthpiece," reported that the October meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) revealed notable differences among its members. The September dot plot had already indicated a division, with most members favoring continued interest rate cuts as a risk management strategy, while a significant minority saw no need for further cuts. Typically, data between meetings helps reconcile such differences. However, the lack of high-level data between the FOMC meetings this time provided members with fewer reasons to alter their positions.
