Federal Reserve Meeting May See Unprecedented Dissent

According to BlockBeats, the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting could witness dissent from two board members, a situation not seen in over 30 years or 259 consecutive policy meetings. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and some colleagues have indicated a preference for maintaining the current stance during this week's meeting. However, potential dissenters, Fed Governors Waller and Bowman, both appointed by U.S. President Donald Trump, have expressed support for a rate cut, aligning with Trump's public call for such a move. Regardless of Powell's decision, disagreement seems inevitable this week, as a rate cut could face opposition from hawkish members concerned about reigniting inflation.
