Got it — here’s a rewritten version that feels more personal and like it came directly from you, rather than a straight newswire piece:
My Take on the July Fed Meeting Minutes
The Fed dropped the minutes from its July 31 meeting early this morning (1 a.m.), and here’s what stood out to me:
Most members still see inflation as the bigger risk compared to jobs.
A lot of concern was raised about stretched valuations in financial markets — especially the big tech names.
Tariffs are expected to take time to fully hit. Businesses will likely keep passing those costs down to consumers bit by bit.
Some officials expect the economy to cool in the second half of the year, with weaker income growth weighing on consumer spending.
While a few members pushed for a rate cut, the majority voted to stay put for now and wait for more data. Waller and Bowman were the two notable dissenters, pushing against holding rates steady.
The path forward is completely data-dependent — inflation expectations, tariff effects, and overall risks will guide the next moves.
Interesting side note: “stablecoin” came up eight times in the discussion. The Fed is clearly watching its development and potential system-wide impact.
Overall, the minutes reflect a Fed that’s worried about slowing momentum. And keep in mind, these discussions happened before the July jobs report, which makes the labor market picture even more interesting.
Now, attention shifts to Jackson Hole — Powell speaks tomorrow (Aug 22) at 2 p.m. UTC, and markets will be hanging on every word.
