On October 30th, "Fed Whispers" Nick Timiraos wrote that Powell's press conference suggested that the FOMC as a whole did not concur with the market's previously high pricing of a December rate cut. Powell stated, "There exists a range of views regarding December, and I believe we will take those into account as we make decisions moving forward." And he emphasized that a December rate cut "is not something that should be regarded as a given. It is far from being determined." This went beyond their usual assertion that "policy is not on a preset course" and was evidently an attempt to regain some policy flexibility in order to avoid being constrained into a specific action. What if there is no government data available to assist in clarifying the economic situation? Powell noted that this means there is a "very high degree of uncertainty, and that can become a factor in a more cautious approach."
