The closer rates drift toward neutral territory, the messier each cut decision gets. It's not just about economics anymore—it's politics inside the committee.
Each quarter-point down? That's another hawk peeling off from the consensus. You start losing votes. And at that point, the data better be screaming loud enough to pull those holdouts back into the fold, or the majority crumbles.

Hanging around the interest rate neutrality zone, the Fed insiders are already tugging at each other. What kind of economics is this? It's purely a political game.

Hawks are one by one fleeing, and this is the reason why interest rate decisions are becoming more and more unreliable.

The Fed's internal conflicts are so intense... Data speaks, but politics also speak. It's really hard to tell now.

Nah, this is a typical case of political struggle disguised as economic decision-making. No matter how impressive the data is, hawks running around won't help.

The issue of interest rate neutrality is basically the committee's internal power struggle beginning.
