🚨 FOMC MINUTES JUST DROPPED — AND THE VIBE CHANGED ⚡
The Fed did cut rates… but don’t celebrate yet.
Behind closed doors, things are tense.
🥊 9–3 SPLIT
This wasn’t unanimous.
Some fear sticky inflation, others see unemployment creeping to 4.6%. The Fed is officially divided.
🛑 PAUSE IS REAL
The key words? “Some time.”
Several officials want rates held steady for longer — rushing cuts now could spark inflation again in 2026.
📉 ONE CUT FOR ALL OF 2026?
The dot plot just crushed the “easy money” dream.
Markets expected a glide path — the Fed is signaling brakes on.
🔍 WHY THE HESITATION • Missing data due to the shutdown
• GDP forecasts revised higher
• Fresh inflation risks from trade & fiscal shifts
🎯 BOTTOM LINE
The pivot isn’t dead — it’s slowing down.
“Higher for Longer” may be back… just wearing a new mask.
Expect volatility as reality sinks in.
