What changes are there in the full comparison with the Federal Reserve's July meeting statement?

On July 30th, local time, the Federal Reserve held steady as expected, maintaining the federal funds rate target range at 4.25% to 4.50%. The Fed's description of the economic outlook has changed somewhat since the June meeting. In this statement: The Fed mentioned that fluctuations in net exports continue to affect the data, adding to the "continue" statement. The Fed acknowledged that the U.S. economy has cooled, modifying the statement from "economic activity continues to expand steadily" to "economic activity growth has slowed in the first half of the year." The Fed revised its description of uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, changing from "uncertainty about the economic outlook has decreased but remains elevated" in the June meeting to "uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated." Nick Timiraos, a well-known financial journalist known as the "new Fed communicator," stated on platform X that the first two paragraphs of this statement were adjusted to reflect the latest market conditions, but there were no significant changes in wording. At this meeting, two Fed governors—Bowman and Waller—cast dissenting votes, aligning with market expectations. They both favored a 0.25 percentage point reduction in the federal funds rate target range at this meeting. Additionally, Fed governor Cook was absent from this meeting and did not vote.
