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.

Brian Jacobsen: The Fed's opposition will be louder after Walsh takes office
According to ChainCatcher news, Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management in Menomoni Falls, Wisconsin, said that it is not surprising to see disagreements within the Fed, but it is surprising that the differences are so obvious. He mentioned that if Powell's last meeting had been like this, imagine how loud the opposition would have been under Walsh. Hawkish language is everywhere about high inflation, and some Fed officials believe that raising interest rates may solve the problem of inflation, even if it means costing the labor market.

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.
