本周的美联储决议“剧本”：决议降息，鲍威尔“鹰派讲话”，哈塞特、贝森特“鸽派对冲”？

Group 1 - The market is pricing in a 95% probability of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December, with Powell's hawkish statements losing significance as he approaches the end of his term [1][3] - There is a potential for a "hawkish rate cut," where the Fed may cut rates but signal a higher threshold for future cuts, which could lead to a liquidity reversal affecting bonds and stocks negatively [4][3] - The coordination between the Treasury, the Fed, and the White House is expected to increase, potentially leading to unconventional policy tools being employed to achieve economic targets [3][1] Group 2 - Kevin Hassett is the leading candidate to replace Powell as Fed Chair, and his appointment could reshape market expectations regarding monetary policy through closer alignment with fiscal policy [2][7] - Treasury Secretary Mnuchin faces pressure to ensure that the new Fed Chair can quickly implement rate cuts, as his own position is tied to the Fed's policy direction [6][2] - Hassett has expressed his commitment to facilitating lower interest rates, which could impact the bond market and investor confidence in the Fed's inflation control [7][6] Group 3 - Mnuchin has indicated a desire for reform within the Fed, criticizing its staff for overstepping their authority and suggesting changes to the selection process for regional Fed presidents [8][6] - The potential for a significant shift in the Fed's operational framework is anticipated with the appointment of a new Chair, which could lead to a more aggressive monetary policy stance [8][7] - The market's reaction to these developments may vary, with some investors betting on a more dovish approach while others remain cautious about the implications of such changes [4][3]
