[“Fed’s mouthpiece”: Powell holds the key to rate cuts or may adopt a “one-off” strategy] 1. Nick Timiraos, a well-known journalist known as the “Fed’s mouthpiece,” recently analyzed that the Fed’s December interest rate meeting will heavily rely on Chairman Powell’s personal decisions. 2. In his report, Timiraos stated that the current internal situation within the Fed provides Powell with ample room for maneuver—if he decides to push for a rate cut, allies have paved the way, but at the same time, he can also clearly signal that “this cycle is over” after the rate cut. This “rate cut without commitment to follow-up” path will become a feasible option for balancing economic support and inflation control. 3. Analysts believe that the decision-making power for interest rates is more concentrated in Powell’s hands than ever before, and his personal judgment will dominate the policy direction. The market is closely watching whether the Fed will adopt this “one-off” rate cut strategy to deal with the complex economic situation.
