Impact on Markets & Policy

This announcement may clarify whether many FOMC members agree with the views of Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, who have opposed supporting interest rate cuts in the short term.

Market expectations show an 85% probability for a 25 basis point rate cut at the upcoming FOMC meeting in September.

These minutes may also highlight greater internal divisions within the Fed, providing insights into the committee's position on inflation, the labor market, and rates - all closely monitored ahead of Chairman Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole conference.
