The U.S. Federal Reserve faces increasing internal division as policymakers struggle to balance a weakening labor market against persistent inflation pressures. Recent data shows job growth slowing to its weakest pace since 2022, while inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target.
Some members argue for faster rate cuts to support employment, while others caution that loosening too soon could trigger a new inflation spike. Analysts warn that the Fed’s policy path over the next six months will be decisive for both financial markets and global investors.
