According to BlockBeats, on September 17th, Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh stated, "Today we took a step towards price stability. Other advanced economies are also facing price pressures." (Warsh declined to comment on the policies of the European Central Bank and other central banks.)

Current data shows that the economy has indeed strengthened. Potential economic growth is even higher; the problem lies in inflation. Price stability is the foundation of economic growth. (Jinshi)

According to BlockBeats, on September 17, Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh stated that data from the past seven weeks indicates that the U.S. economy has strengthened, but the inflation trend has failed to pass the test. The FOMC believes that there are still very few factors that could change the inflation trend.

Warsh stated that today's policy decision was firm and unanimous, with the Federal Reserve deciding to remove some of its previous accommodative policies. He noted that his FOMC colleagues found it difficult to describe current financial conditions as restrictive, and that the neutral interest rate would not have a practical impact on specific policy decisions.

Regarding the Federal Reserve's independence, Warsh stated that "independence is a two-way street," and the Fed must adhere to its responsibilities. He also emphasized that he would not rely on a single data point to make judgments, but would focus more on the overall trend of economic data, because individual data points may contain noise.

According to BlockBeats, on September 17th, Alex Giuliano, Chief Investment Officer of Resonate Wealth, stated that although the Fed's rate hike was already anticipated by the market, it could still help stabilize the bond market. Giuliano said this action "marks a clear shift by the Fed from sending hawkish signals on inflation to taking concrete action."

He added, "While we wouldn't be surprised by another rate hike this year, the Fed doesn't like to reveal its hand prematurely. Prematurely revealing its hand could only increase market expectations ahead of future Fed meetings, leading to increased stock market volatility." (Jinshi)
