Key comments
Supported rate cut.
Rate cut was appropriate.
Still have inflation above target, need to get it down.
Labor market has softened quite a bit.
Need to keep policy modestly restrictive.
Open mind on December.
50 bps of cuts this year makes Fed better-positioned.
Need to make decision that balances risks.
Not a more divided fed than before.
Wouldn't even use the word 'divided'. Disagreement is usually what you see when world is uncertain.
Everyone should want the FOMC to debate and disagree.”
