Strategist Says Fed Dot Plot Sends Stronger Hawkish Signal Than Dissenting Votes

B. Riley Wealth Chief Market Strategist Art Hogan said on Dec. 11 that the Federal Reserve’s latest move amounts to a “hawkish cut,” according to BlockBeats. Hogan noted that while two policymakers formally dissented in favor of keeping rates unchanged, the Fed dot plot shows six officials projected no rate cut at this meeting, signaling a firmer hawkish stance than the dissenting votes alone.
