Why is there so much drama around the Fed decision?
Asked 22 hours ago
Answer
The drama around the Fed decision stems from President Trump's push for large interest rate cuts, rare internal dissent among Fed governors, and market expectations of no immediate change. This level of disagreement and political pressure is unusual, highlighting tension within the Fed and uncertainty about future policy.
