[Powell Steadies the Federal Reserve, Internal Opinions Converge] Federal Reserve Chairman Powell demonstrated strong leadership at the latest policy meeting, with governors Waller and Bowman shifting their previous opposing stances to align with the majority of members, leaving only Milan casting a dissenting vote. Former New York Fed President Dudley remarked that Powell's leadership highlights the central bank's independence. Despite ongoing pressure from the White House, market analysts believe Powell's composed performance stems from internal support. His term as chairman is set to expire in May next year.
