The probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike this week is above 92%, with the focus on support from voting members and the potential for dissenting votes.



There is disagreement over whether the rate hike will be a one-off move or part of consecutive tightening, while the dot plot will hint at the probability of another hike in December.

Economists warn that a rate hike could accelerate the risk of a recession, as part of the inflation is driven by temporary factors such as the tariff war.

So the question is: Does the Federal Reserve not understand the current state of the economy?

The dot plot is now basically a massive fortune-telling session; whether there will be a rate hike in December depends entirely on who has the loudest voice tonight.

Powell’s move this time is genuinely incomprehensible. With a 92% probability of a rate hike, he’s still going through the motions of discussing it—who is he putting on a show for?

The key is the split among voting committee members: can enough dissenting votes be mustered to influence market expectations, even though a rate hike is definitely coming?
