The division within the Fed was reflected in the points diagram provided by the agency on the forecasts managed by members of the FOMC, the Federal Open Market Committee, in relation to the evolution of interest rates.
According to the projections, currently seven FOMC members anticipate an additional reduction of 25 basis points before the end of the year, which would imply a new cut in October and December. However, five other members do not anticipate further cuts and five other members would have liked to keep the rates unchanged until the end of the year.
"The current scenario is complex and justifies different visions," Jerome Powell said during the press conference. "It is very difficult to anticipate the evolution of rates" because there is "great uncertainty," added the central banker, who mentioned trade disputes, Brexit and lower global growth as the main current weaknesses.

For its part, the Bank of Japan, with a vote of 7 to 2, has also kept its monetary policy unchanged and future orientation also unchanged. "The Bank of Japan is still waiting, but recognizes that the risks of foreign economies continue to increase and now considers that more attention is needed to lose momentum to achieve the price stability objective," explain the Deutsche Bank analysts.
