Bias

100%

Examples:

  • Fed officials raised concerns over cutting rates too quickly
  • Fed officials wanted to see more before starting to ease policy, while saying that rate hikes are likely over.
  • The discussion came as policymakers not only decided to leave their key overnight borrowing rate unchanged but also altered the post-meeting statement to indicate that no cuts would be coming until the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee held 'greater confidence' that inflation was receding.

Conflicts of Interest

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Fed could cut as inflation cools and real rates rise, Goolsbeer says
  • Goolsbee Says Investors Got Ahead of Fed on Rate-Cut Bets

Broke On: Wednesday, 21 February 2024 The Federal Reserve is considering cutting interest rates, but officials are cautious about doing so too quickly. The minutes of the January meeting show that most participants noted the risks of moving too quickly to ease monetary policy and emphasized the importance of carefully assessing incoming data in judging whether inflation is moving down sustainably to 2%. Officials also expressed optimism that their policy moves have succeeded in lowering inflation, but they are still concerned about keeping borrowing costs high for the foreseeable future. The Fed has already implemented 11 interest rate hikes and expects more cuts may come later this year.
