#PowellRemarks، delivered a cautious yet clear message — the Fed is not rushing to cut rates. While inflation is gradually cooling, it remains above the 2% target, and the labor market is still strong. Powell emphasized the need for "greater confidence" that inflation is moving sustainably downward before adjusting policy. Markets, which were hoping for earlier rate cuts, are now recalibrating expectations, with many eyeing September as the earliest possible shift. His tone struck a balance between vigilance and patience, signaling no rush while leaving room for flexibility. Investors and analysts alike are parsing every word for clues, but one thing is clear: the Fed is data-driven and will move only when conditions warrant. #FedWatch #MarketUpdate #InterestRates #PowellRemarks
