Powell just claimed there was "fairly broad support" for today's Fed decision. Really? Then what's the story with those 6 dissenting dots on the chart?
Seems like calling 6 members disagreeing "broad support" is quite the stretch. When nearly half the committee is plotting different rate paths, maybe "contentious" would be more accurate than "broad."
This kind of messaging gap matters for markets – especially risk assets. If the Fed can't get internal alignment, what does that signal about their actual conviction on monetary policy direction?

Powell's way of speaking is really... Calling 6 dissenting votes "broad support," I really can't learn this logic.

Powell really dares to say that, ignoring the 6 dissenting votes?

Well said, Powell's attitude is really incredible... Six votes against and still "broad support," did the math teacher teach you that?

Powell's words are really full of it... 6 dissenting votes and still call it "broad support"? Laughable, they really treat retail investors like fools with this kind of rhetoric.

Powell, your mouth... Broad support? Come on, six people oppose, what do you call that, broad? Are you insulting our math skills?
---
Even internally everyone is arguing like this, and you still dare to say broad... That's really funny. Instead of shouting at the market, it's better to manage your own people first.
---
Wait, what does this mean... If there's no consensus inside the Federal Reserve, and they still expect us to follow suit in decision-making? That’s too unreasonable.
---
Six votes against, that should be called "extreme division," anyway, you definitely can't say broad, Powell is a bit overwhelmed in this wave.
---
Laughing to death, nearly half oppose, and you still have the nerve to talk about consensus... Even if our mining circle is not doing well, we can't be so self-deceptive.

honestly, powell's messaging game is weaker than a sprinter hitting mile 20. six dissenting dots ain't "broad support" — that's just denial with extra steps. when the fed can't even lock in internally, how are we supposed to trust the macro narrative? this is exactly why i keep stacking on these pullbacks... the ecosystem metrics don't lie even if powell does.

Six points and you dare to boast "broad consensus", Powell's words are a bit dubious... If there's internal tearing apart, pretending to be united, risk assets should be worried.
