⚠️ The Fed is deeply divided — and markets are reacting

The Fed held rates steady, but the real shock was inside the vote split.

📊 Fed vote breakdown:

• 8 wanted a pause
• 3 wanted hikes
• 1 wanted cuts

💣 Biggest dissent inside the Fed since 1992.

👇 Why this matters:

Some officials see inflation from the Iran/oil shock as temporary.

Others fear: 📈 Oil spike
📈 Rising CPI
📈 Persistent inflation pressure

At the same time:

📉 Growth slowing
📉 Job market weakening

So now the Fed is split between: • Fighting inflation
OR
• Supporting the economy

⚡ And markets hate uncertainty more than anything.

That’s why crypto and risk assets are reacting hard right now.

All eyes now shift to Powell’s tone.
