Tony Welch: The Fed's interest rate hike threshold is still high, and the economy has not shown any need to cut interest rates
ChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten, Tony Welch, chief investment officer of Signature FD in Atlanta, said that the market did not react much to the Fed's decision and basically released signals in advance. He pointed out that the current environment is not an urgent need for interest rate cuts, and the bond market has noticed a slow decline in the probability of interest rate cuts, and interest rates are on an upward trend. Welch believes that the threshold for raising interest rates remains high unless there is an economic deterioration.

Audrey: Recent data makes some FOMC members "hawkish" reasonable
ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi, analyst Audrey said that given the recent strong economic performance and the continued upward trend in inflation caused by rising energy prices, the "obviously hawkish" shift made by some FOMC members is justified. She pointed out that from the perspective of the US dollar, this indicates that bearish expectations caused by factors such as Fed policy and yields are incorrect, and also confirms that the bullish price action so far is justified.

Analyst: The Fed seems to have entered a new situation, with internal divisions complicated
Odaily Planet Daily News analyst Anstey pointed out that we seem to be in a new field and need more time to understand the current situation. We need to note that the only person who disagrees with the interest rate decision itself is Milan, who wants to cut the rate by 0.25 percentage points. The other three members, Hamak, Kashkari and Logan, believe it is appropriate to keep interest rates unchanged today. Interestingly, the three members who disagreed with the policy bias basically interpreted this statement as leaning towards easing. Because it is clearly neutral by the literal word: the committee will adjust its monetary policy stance in a timely manner in case of risks that may hinder the achievement of the committee's objectives. The "goal" is, of course, to maintain price stability and achieve full employment. But it seems to me that these three people seem to think that this formulation is mainly for employment-related tasks. (Jin Shi)
