## Resource

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Lauren Saidel-Baker breaks down the latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes and the growing divide inside the Fed over the future direction of interest rates. While markets continue searching for clues about future rate cuts, new dissents from Fed officials reveal deeper concerns about persistent inflation and the path forward under incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Lauren explains why these disagreements matter for businesses, investors, and economic planning, and what the structure of the Federal Open Market Committee could mean for future policy decisions. As uncertainty around inflation and monetary policy continues, understanding how these internal Fed debates shape economic outcomes is becoming increasingly important. Could shifting dynamics inside the Fed change the direction of interest rates sooner than markets expect?
