According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on May 26, Federal Reserve official Kashkari stated that the significant shift in U.S. trade and immigration policies has created uncertainty for Federal Reserve officials in taking interest rate actions before September. The Trump administration continues tariff negotiations with many countries. Kashkari said, 'Anything is possible, but will the situation be clear enough by September? I'm not sure right now.' If the U.S. reaches a trade agreement with other countries, 'this should provide a lot of the clarity we are looking for.' The universally applied tariffs have pushed up inflation in the U.S. and hampered economic growth. Kashkari and other central bank officials indicated that the threshold for lowering interest rates in the short term remains high. Kashkari stated, 'This uncertainty may put pressure on economic activity and pose challenges for us.'
