FOMC Minutes: The 3 Signals CEOs Actually Track

Last FOMC Board Brief breakdown:

• 25bp cut (87% prob.) → Immediate debt service relief.
• Sticky Services Inflation → Continued pressure on operating margins.
• Labor Softening → Opening a strategic hiring window.

Forget the Fed speak. CEOs only need to track these 3 P&L signals:

1. Cost of Capital Forecast Debt service planning + Capex timing.
2. Pricing Power Trajectory Can you pass costs on? (Inflation signal).
3. Wage Bill Projection Labor tightness vs. Slack (Hiring leverage).

"Board Brief translates vague Fed minutes into direct P&L implications for my CFO."
