The Federal Reserve recently announced a decision to lower rates by a quarter point, but the move did not receive unanimous support among all 12 officials who participated in this month's meeting.
Cleveland Fed President voted against cutting rates, stating that it may be time to slow down the pace of rate reductions. This dissent follows a previous meeting where all officials agreed on a quarter-point cut. However, at the meeting in September, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman dissented in favor of a quarter-point cut instead of the half-point cut preferred by the other officials, marking the first time a Fed governor dissented since 2005.
