Rates on Hold, Tensions Rise
The Fed held interest rates steady for a fourth consecutive meeting (4.25%–4.50%).
Chair Jerome Powell stated that more data is needed before cutting rates, even as inflation shows signs of cooling. The Fed now projects two potential rate cuts in 2025.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump escalated tensions, calling Powell “stupid” and demanding an immediate 2% rate cut to boost the economy.
💬 How are you positioning yourself?
Do you expect rate cuts this year — or more delays from the Fed?
