To be honest, I really can't understand the Federal Reserve's moves here. For three consecutive months, it's been a steady 25 basis points each time, so predictable that I can guess it in advance. The market is hoping for some big action every day, but each time it's just a small tweak like squeezing toothpaste.

Powell blames tariffs for pushing up inflation, while Trump is nearby complaining that the cuts aren't aggressive enough. Even more surprisingly, 3 out of the 12 members directly voted against—this internal disagreement is more intense than the bullish and bearish debates in trading groups.

Now I just want to ask: can the next meeting try something new? Always this steady, predictable rhythm. Honestly, even I, who watch the markets every day, am starting to become numb. Either be more decisive or just not move at all. This slow, grinding approach really drains the enthusiasm.

I'll say it, these 25 basis points are just incredible, and I’m starting to get a bit annoyed guessing them The Fed is so torn internally, even Powell’s balancing act doesn’t help Betting on whether there will be a 50 next time? But I feel like they’ll just squeeze out more hints... Giving up, giving up, might as well mine instead Why stick to the same routine every three months, is it so troublesome? Powell’s blame-shifting skills are really impressive, even Trump can’t stand it This pace is really torturous, either go faster with the cuts or something else

Pushing for a "toothpaste squeeze" style rate cut is really brilliant. Instead of doing that, it's better to just pause; at least the market can have some expectations. Powell and Trump, this pair of rivals, one shifting blame and the other picking faults, and even within the committee, everyone is pushing their own tune. This chaos index is soaring. Brothers, we've become numb. Doing the same routine every day will lead to aesthetic fatigue for everyone. When will there be a bold move like a 75 basis point hike? The Federal Reserve is just dangling the bait like this, clearly knowing what the market is waiting for, but insisting on small steps—it's really a bit irritating. Instead of guessing the basis points, it's better to look directly at the options market. The smart money there has already made its stance clear. The RMB has been jumping around opportunistically, and the Fed's indecision is the best arbitrage opportunity. Do three dissenting votes mean the consensus has shattered? Maybe there's still hope ahead. Don't rush to conclusions.

Alright, alright, I see through the Federal Reserve's tricks. They just want to take their time and wear things down gradually. Three dissenting votes? What's going on here? The internal conflicts are so obvious, why pretend otherwise? Instead of squeezing the toothpaste gradually, it's better to just cut cleanly. At least the market could react a bit. Powell is blaming Trump. Can you two stop throwing blame at each other? We retail investors are getting dizzy from all this. Waiting and see. If next meeting still follows this pattern, I'll just lie flat. Anyway, if I can't understand it, I won't bother watching. These harmless operations really test my patience. Like the committee members, I’m starting to oppose this pace too.

I'm exhausted. 25 basis points are as punctual as clocking in, more punctual than my job. Three months in a row with the same routine, basically betting on whether we can guess the next move. The 3 votes against in the committee are really decisive. If this were in a trading group, it would be a heated argument. Instead of dragging things out like this, why not just make a big move? At least it could create some volatility. Powell's way of shifting blame is also top-notch, tsk. This rhythm really makes it hard to stay motivated. Is it just to watch this every day? Either cut rates directly, or just damn not move at all. Don't keep dangling the bait.
