Fed Rate Cut December Now in Doubt as Split Widens

The push for a Fed rate cut December is officially on shaky ground. New Fed minutes released in the last 24 hours show policymakers deeply divided, raising real doubts about another move this year.

📉 A Fed Split That’s Getting Hard to Ignore

According to fresh reporting from AP and Reuters, several officials warned that stubborn inflation makes a Fed rate cut December risky. Others pushed for continued easing — but not necessarily next month. Their disagreement marks one of the deepest divides of the year.

📊 Missing Data Is Making Everything Messier

The ongoing federal government shutdown means key labor data for October and November won’t arrive before the December meeting. That lack of visibility is strengthening arguments against a Fed rate cut December, as some policymakers say they can’t justify a move without fresh employment numbers.

📈 Markets Reprice the Odds — Fast

Investor expectations for a Fed rate cut December have flipped to nearly 50/50. Analysts say the uncertainty is now bolder than the policy path itself. Some major banks are even projecting no further cuts in 2025, citing the growing internal rift.


🧭 The Wink Take

The Fed isn’t just debating — it’s wrestling itself. And unless incoming data performs a miracle, a Fed rate cut December is no longer a safe bet. This fight is only getting louder.
