#PowellRemarks

Although inflation has decreased, the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates steady reflects their cautious approach.

Considering the stance based on the Federal Reserve's data and the current economic indicators, I believe further delays are likely. Rate cuts may only occur in the latter half of 2025. Political pressure from Trump is unlikely to affect the Federal Reserve's independent decision. The focus will be on stabilizing inflation at the 2% target without jeopardizing the strong labor market.
