Analysts flagged a rise in public dissenting statements among Federal Reserve officials, underscoring a growing split within the committee about the path of monetary policy. Some policymakers emphasised caution given sticky inflationary risks, while others pushed for easing to support a soft landing. The visible divergence complicates market pricing of future rate moves and increases sensitivity to incoming data. Traders reacted by rebalancing short-dated rate positions and buying hedges, while strategists noted political and communication risks for the central bank if divisions widen ahead of key meetings.
