The Federal Reserve's December Meeting Minutes to Be Released Tonight, Decision-Making Disagreements Details to Be Disclosed
The Federal Reserve will release the minutes of its December 9-10 policy meeting at 3 a.m. Beijing time on Wednesday, December 31, revealing details of escalating internal divisions among policymakers. Amid dual pressures from inflation and the labor market, the Fed’s next moves are growing increasingly opaque. The Fed’s 25-basis-point rate cut in December drew three dissenting votes: two from regional Fed presidents who argued no cut was needed, and one from Governor Milan — who has been the sole advocate for a 50-basis-point cut three times since joining the central bank in September. Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted after the meeting there was “strong disagreement about which risks should be our policy focus.” Looking ahead to 2025, policymakers are even more split on interest rate direction, with some saying no further cuts are warranted.
