Investors welcomed the decision of the American federal reserve which, as expected, lowered its 25 basis points (0.25 percentage points) on Wednesday evening. Only Stephan Miran, the new governor of the Fed, promoted by Donald Trump voted for a more marked drop, of 50 base points.
“First, it is interesting to note that Stephen Miran was the only one to express his disagreement. It seems to us that this could be a deliberate decision on the part of the other members of the FOMC (Monetary Policy Committee of the Federal Reserve of the United States) in order to show their support for President Powell and, in fact, as an implicit act of support for the independence of the Fed. Perhaps we are doing too much,” Note ING economists.

The market now anticipates two additional drops of a quarter of percentage this year.
