PANews reported on December 11th that, according to Jinshi, Goldman Sachs analyst Kay Haigh stated that the Federal Reserve has reached the end of its "precautionary rate cut" phase. She believes, "The next responsibility lies in the labor market data needing to weaken further to justify additional near-term easing. The 'hard dissent' from voting members and the 'soft dissent' appearing in the 'dot plot' highlight the Fed's hawkish camp, and the reintroduction of language regarding the 'degree and timing' of future policy decisions in the statement is likely intended to appease them. While this leaves room for future rate cuts, the weakness in the labor market must reach a high threshold."
