Wow, is the Fed about to have an internal conflict?
The interest rate decision next week is expected to be a heated debate. Out of the 12 voting members, 5 have publicly opposed a rate cut, while another 3 insist that a cut is necessary. This situation clearly shows that no one can convince anyone else.
A friend who works in bonds said yesterday that if a 7:5 result comes out, that would be a disaster—it's impossible to predict the subsequent direction of the market, and it wouldn't be surprising if stocks, bonds, and currencies all face a triple hit.
In the past, these big shots at least pretended to have a consensus outwardly, but now they can't even be bothered to act. You could say they haven't figured it out themselves, so what's the point of us guessing blindly?
Suddenly, I feel this scene is particularly familiar... It's like during the New Year when a table full of people discuss next year's housing prices, with each aunt and uncle holding their own views, and in the end, no one convinces anyone.
But seriously, the exposure of such a level of policy divergence may have a greater impact on the volatility of assets like BTC, XRP, and SOL than it appears on the surface. Do you think this meeting will completely break the facade?
