#美联储FOMC会议 Trump's tariff policy is being implemented without any rules, leaving the Federal Reserve in a dilemma 😫 Should they respond to economic recession or address stagflation? Tomorrow, Federal Reserve officials will begin a two-day meeting, grappling with how to communicate cautiously in this difficult decision-making process.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his colleagues are likely to continue to wait and see, refraining from cutting interest rates for now, contemplating a slight adjustment to their strategy. This 'strategic patience' shows they do not want to easily give up the fight against inflation.

The Federal Reserve's current situation is akin to a goalkeeper, having to decide whether to 'dive to the right' to maintain interest rates to combat inflation or 'dive to the left' to cut rates in response to economic slowdown. Powell expressed last month that this judgment is too difficult. If the Federal Reserve stimulates the economy too early, it could exacerbate short-term inflationary pressures caused by tariffs or product shortages. This time, the Federal Reserve will not cut rates based solely on forecasts; they need to see actual data, especially signs of a slowdown in the labor market.
