#FederalReserve #Dissent #InterestRates #Inflation #PolicyMeeting #JeromePowell #RateCut #USPolitics #EconomicPolicy #BoardMembers
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.#FederalReserve #Dissent #InterestRates #Inflation #PolicyMeeting #JeromePowell #RateCut #USPolitics #EconomicPolicy #BoardMembers

#FederalReserve #EmploymentReport #Inflation #LaborMarket #FOMC #EconomicOutlook #PolicyMeeting #DataAnalysis
According to PANews, Cleveland Federal Reserve President Harker, who is set to be a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in 2026, expressed his views in an interview with Bloomberg regarding the recent non-farm employment report released on Friday. Harker described the report as "disappointing" but emphasized that it does not warrant a rate cut at the upcoming policy meeting this week.
Harker conveyed confidence in the decisions made earlier this week, despite the weaker-than-expected employment data for July. He stressed the importance of examining the data comprehensively, noting that the labor market remains largely balanced. He reiterated that the report is just one piece of data and highlighted the significance of monitoring labor conditions, especially given the persistently high inflation rates.#FederalReserve #EmploymentReport #Inflation #LaborMarket #FOMC #EconomicOutlook #PolicyMeeting #DataAnalysis
🚀 Swiss National Bank Expected to Hold Rates, Negative Interest Rate Return Unlikely
#SNB #SwissNationalBank #negativeinterestrates #policymeeting #inflation #financialsystem #bankingsector #financialstability #Switzerland #economy
Key Takeaways:The Swiss National Bank (SNB) is not expected to reintroduce negative interest rates at its policy meeting this week.A survey of 24 economists shows almost all anticipate the SNB will hold steady on Thursday.SNB officials, including President Thomas Jordan, have stressed readiness to act if necessary, but negative rates carry higher risks for the financial system.Analysts point to rising inflation trends as a reason the SNB is likely to stay on hold.The Swiss National Bank’s (SNB) threat to cut borrowing costs back into negative territory may not materialize this week, according to economists surveyed by Jinshi Data. Nearly all of the 24 economists polled expect policymakers to avoid cutting rates below zero at Thursday’s decision.While SNB President Thomas Jordan and his colleagues have repeatedly emphasized their willingness to return to negative interest rates if conditions demand it, analysts note the bar for such a move remains high. Unlike conventional rate adjustments, negative rates risk distorting the banking sector and damaging financial stability.According to J. Safra Sarasin, chief economist at Bank, inflation in Switzerland is already well above zero and trending upward, reducing the likelihood of a policy reversal into negative territory. #SNB #SwissNationalBank #negativeinterestrates #policymeeting #inflation #financialsystem #bankingsector #financialstability #Switzerland #economy
🚀 Potential Delay in U.S. Employment Report Due to Government Shutdown
#usgovernmentshutdown #employmentreport #bls #dol #laborstatistics #economicdata #federalreserve #policymeeting #spendingbill
According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Department of Labor's contingency plan indicates that a federal government shutdown could delay the release of the September employment report, originally scheduled for next Friday. The specific impact of the shutdown remains unclear, as most government agencies, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics responsible for compiling the monthly employment report, have not publicly updated their contingency plans. If Congress fails to pass a spending bill by next Tuesday, these agencies will operate according to their emergency plans.
A contingency plan updated by the Department of Labor in March last year states that in the event of a shutdown, all data collection activities and scheduled data releases will be suspended. If the shutdown persists and the Bureau of Labor Statistics delays data publication, the Federal Reserve may lack critical employment and inflation data ahead of its next policy meeting on October 28-29, potentially increasing the risks associated with policy-making.#usgovernmentshutdown #employmentreport #bls #dol #laborstatistics #economicdata #federalreserve #policymeeting #spendingbill
🚀 Analysts: Fed May Lower Bank Reserve Rate to Ease Market Financing Pressure
#Fed #BankReserveRate #MarketFinancing #RepoMarket #FederalReserve #InterestRate #FundingPressure #ShortTermBorrowing #WrightsonICAP #PolicyMeeting
According to Jinshi data, analysts believe the Federal Reserve may soon consider cutting the interest rate paid to banks on reserve balances to relieve emerging funding pressures in the repo market.The current reserve rate stands 15 basis points above the lower limit of the federal funds target range — with the range set at 4%–4.25% and the effective rate at 4.15%.Experts note that reducing the rate by 5 basis points could encourage banks to redeploy excess reserves into the repo market, helping stabilize short-term borrowing costs.However, analysts at Wrightson ICAP said that while such fine-tuning measures are plausible, the Fed may wait beyond the October policy meeting before implementing any changes.#Fed #BankReserveRate #MarketFinancing #RepoMarket #FederalReserve #InterestRate #FundingPressure #ShortTermBorrowing #WrightsonICAP #PolicyMeeting
