On May 4, Michael James, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, commented on the Fed’s interest rate resolution: The overall message conveyed by this resolution is basically consistent with market expectations, but there is a slight change in the factors that lead to the Fed’s suspension of interest rate hikes.
So I don’t think the Fed did not hesitate to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, and it is not so clear that it will not raise interest rates further in the short term.
I think it will be more important to hear Fed Chairman Powell’s statement and explanation than the resolution itself. I don’t think the Fed decision is as clear-cut as some people see it.
There is still a cloud of fog surrounding the Fed’s short-term intentions on interest rates.
