[Federal Reserve's Collins: September Employment Data Exceeded Expectations, December Policy Undecided] On November 22, Federal Reserve's Collins stated that no decision has been made regarding the December FOMC meeting. The September employment data was mixed, with job creation exceeding expectations. Collins believes it is appropriate for the Federal Reserve to end balance sheet reduction, and that the Fed's policy is 'slightly restrictive,' aligning with the current economic conditions. She noted that this is a complex period for the Federal Reserve, and differences in policy views are not surprising.
