# "Fed Whisperer": Fed meeting minutes show divergence in September rate cut

Jinshi Data News on October 10th: "Fed Whisperer" Nick Timiraos stated that at last month's meeting, Federal Reserve officials had diverging views on the magnitude of rate cuts. The majority supported a larger 50 basis point cut that was ultimately approved, while others favored a smaller 25 basis point cut. The just-released meeting minutes shed light on the discussion behind why officials chose to initiate the first rate cut since 2020 with a bolder 50 basis point move. **The decision to lower rates to the range of 4.75% to 5% had the support of 11 out of the 12 members of the Federal Reserve's rate-setting committee. One policymaker dissented, advocating for a smaller cut.** The meeting minutes stated that those in favor of a larger rate cut "generally believed that this recalibration of the monetary policy stance would begin to better align it with recent inflation and labor market indicators." **Some officials believed that the 25 basis point cut at the end of July's previous meeting was "appropriate," and recent data only confirmed the rationale for the rate cut.**
