Oh, also of interest: the headlines note that there were the most dissenters on this rates decision since 1992. Since people were looking for a rate cut the implication is that the dissenters wanted one. That is NOT CORRECT. There were four dissents. _One_ wanted an immediate rate cut, as context around the headlines would imply. The other three wanted the forward-looking possible-rate-cut-languge _removed_. They wanted no rate cut now, and they wanted the suggestion of a rate cut at the next meeting _taken out_, meaning they expect higher inflation. This is the opposite of the contextual headline implication and one should take it onboard for one's inflation expectations accordingly. #economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #inflation

This is not financial advice and I am not a financial advisor, but my inflation expectations are more in line with those of the dissenters. People see the gas/diesel price shocks. Most people aren't yet really seeing the shipping price shocks. The goods price shock hasn't hit yet, but it absolutely will; if you look you can see it coming. As for food, well, people are seeing a little foods price shock but it's mostly transportation impacts passed along so relatively low-key so far for most, but if fertiliser supplies don't get sorted - China's helping with that in eastern Asia, sharing from their considerable reserves stockpile - the hard impacts will be four to six months off. #economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #prices #inflation

Meanwhile, #inflation "remains somewhat elevated," the #CentralBank said, while the job market has "shown some signs of stabilization." Though the #Fed noted that "job gains have remained low," it also removed language from its prior statement saying that downside risks to employment had risen - an indication policymakers as a group are becoming less worried about a rapid downturn in the labor market. #US #FederalReserve #FOMC #JeromePowell #Trump #InterestRates #economy

The #US #FederalReserve has held #InterestRates steady. It cited still-elevated #inflation alongside solid economic growth, & it gave little indication in its latest policy statement of when borrowing costs might fall again. "Economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace," #Fed policymakers said in the statement after voting 10-2 to hold the US #CentralBank's benchmark interest rate in the 3.50%-3.75% range following a two-day meeting. #FOMC #JeromePowell #Trump #economy
