# "The Fed's mouthpiece": The Fed is inclined to remain silent this week, with recent shocks being a two-way factor.

Nick Timiraos, the Fed's mouthpiece: The Fed may be more inclined to remain silent this week. But forecasts are forcing them to outline a path. Two former Fed chairs told me they wanted to avoid predicting rate cuts in the near term. Whether current officials will take the same stance has become the core focus of this meeting, with both hawks and doves potentially pointing to the same shock to maintain their positions. (Jinshi)
