This afternoon, the Fed published a proposed change to the "SLR" which requires US regulated big banks ("GSIBs") to hold extra capital. The proposal now goes into a 60-day comment period but I'm guessing any changes will be small.
I suspect the Fed's "positioning" has shifted in recent weeks from assuming further cuts are unnecessary and requiring proof of eco deterioration to cut to assuming cuts will be necessary and requiring proof to AVOID cutting.

I think we see this trend in the political winds blowing from the White House to VERY clearly in today's Congressional questioning from both sides of the aisle. We definitely see this trend in vocal comments from Waller and Bowman who have been on hawkish side in '24-'25.
