December 9 news: In the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting this week (the last one of the year), half of the officials may oppose the rate cut, but Powell still plans to push for a rate reduction. The focus of the meeting is to build consensus, with a possible path being a reduction of 25 basis points to 3.5%-3.75%, and to signal a higher threshold for subsequent easing. Among the 12 voting members of the Federal Reserve, 5 and 10 out of 19 members do not support a rate cut; last month's delayed version of the September non-farm payrolls showed job growth but the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, and the reasons for the slowdown in employment have become a point of controversy regarding the rate cut.
