Institution: The Federal Reserve will remain on hold this week, with two dovish members expected to voice opposition

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data, the chief U.S. economist at Placer, Urupeersy, stated that the Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5% this week, but Waller and Bowman may express opposition.

This could intensify speculation that once more officials appointed by Trump join the Federal Reserve Board starting in the first quarter of 2026, the pace of interest rate declines will accelerate. Dovish Waller and Bowman may argue that monetary policy is restrictive because tariff-related inflation is being offset by other factors, and they may advocate for rate cuts on the grounds of a neutral rate close to 3%. Powell is expected to try to guide the FOMC to wait as long as possible before the next rate cut, with the likelihood of a cut in October being greater than in September.
