On May 7, 2025, Fed Chair Jerome Powell sent a strong, steady message:
š Rate cuts arenāt on the table. Not now. Not unless the data demands it.
Speaking with his signature calm confidence, Powell confirmed the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at 4.50%, and he made it clear ā the threshold for cuts is sky-high. Here are the key takeaways:
š£ļø āThereās no case for a cut at this time.ā
š£ļø āLast year was about unemployment ā this year, itās different.ā
š£ļø āWe donāt define āacceptableā joblessness ā we track the full picture.ā
š£ļø āTrade deals might matter ā but donāt count on it.ā
š£ļø āGDP swings wonāt change our view.ā
š” Translation: Powellās not chasing headlines, political pressure, or Wall Streetās hopes. Only clear, sustained weakness in inflation or labor markets will move the Fed off this path.
š Meanwhile, markets still bet on a July pivot.
šÆ Powell? Heās focused, firm, and not flinching.
To the #Aslam-Khan community:
š Is this discipline ā or denial?
And what would actually make the Fed change course?
