#PowellRemarks 🎊 The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 4.25–4.50 percent on June 18, 2025, projecting two quarter‑point cuts later this year amid persistent inflation concerns.

Powell warned that rising tariffs would likely drive inflation higher and emphasized a cautious, data‑driven approach—“no hurry” to cut rates while monitoring trade outcomes and labor market strength.

💯💯 He noted consumer unease over tariffs, but affirmed unemployment remains low and wage growth steady. Geopolitical tensions add to uncertainty. Powell reiterated the Fed’s independence despite political pressure, insisting decisions will be guided by economic data rather than external demands.🎁🎁$XRP
