The Fed Faces Its Biggest Internal Divergence in Recent Years! Has Powell Stopped Being 'Hawkish' This Time?

The Federal Reserve faces its most significant internal division in recent years as Chair Jerome Powell navigates a deeply split FOMC ahead of a key policy meeting. While a 25-basis-point rate cut is widely expected, the challenge lies in post-meeting communication. Powell is likely to adopt a "hawkish cut" strategy—lowering rates while avoiding strong signals about future easing, particularly for January. He will emphasize data dependency and may signal that rates are approaching neutral to reassure hawkish members concerned about persistent inflation. The decision is complicated by a government shutdown delaying key economic data and external political pressure. Regardless of the outcome, high uncertainty and market volatility are expected to persist, with future policy moves contingent on labor market conditions and inflation data.

Former New York Fed Expert: Powell May Announce $45 Billion Bond Purchase Plan

Former New York Fed expert Mark Cabana predicts that, in addition to the widely anticipated 25 basis point rate cut, Fed Chair Powell will announce a $45 billion per month Treasury bill purchase program at the upcoming December FOMC meeting. This plan, set to begin in January 2026, aims to inject liquidity and prevent a further surge in repo market rates. Cabana warns that markets are underestimating the scale of the Fed's balance sheet actions, as money market rates indicate bank reserves are no longer "abundant." The move is seen as necessary to address liquidity shortages caused by previous quantitative tightening. UBS also forecasts a similar $40 billion monthly purchase program. The policy shift comes amid a critical leadership transition at the Fed, with Powell's term ending and expectations rising for Kevin Hassett to potentially succeed him.

Hassett: Setting a Six-Month Interest Rate Roadmap 'Irresponsible', Praises Powell's Leadership

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett emphasized that pre-setting a six-month interest rate path would be "irresponsible," advocating instead for data-dependent monetary policy. In a CNBC interview, he praised Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s leadership in building consensus within the FOMC ahead of an expected rate cut. Hassett avoided specifying the number of rate cuts needed, underscoring the importance of flexibility over rigid forward guidance. He also expressed optimism about AI-driven positive supply shocks, similar to the 1990s tech boom, which could allow the economy to run hotter without inflation. Hassett noted improved bond market conditions and downward trends in Treasury yields, reflecting uncertainty around the Fed’s upcoming decision. His comments highlight the need for adaptive, data-driven policymaking in a complex economic environment.
