#PowellRemarks Jerome Powell, President of the Federal Reserve, made recent statements that are moving the markets — especially those of risk assets such as cryptocurrencies and stocks.

🗣️ Summary of the statements ("Powell Remarks")

During his most recent speech, Powell adopted a cautiously optimistic tone, highlighting that:

The U.S. economy continues to grow, but at a more moderate pace.

The labor market is balanced, with unemployment stable at 4.2%.

Inflation has fallen significantly since the peaks of 2022, but is still above the 2% target.

Recent trade tariffs may pressure prices in the upcoming quarters, temporarily raising inflation.

The Fed is "data-dependent" and does not rule out interest rate cuts, but has also not committed to any immediate decision.

🔍 What does this mean for the markets?

Slightly dovish tone: Powell signaled that the monetary tightening cycle may have ended.

Cryptocurrencies reacted positively: assets like BTC and ETH rose with the expectation of lower interest rates.

Traditional market is cautious: stocks and bonds are pricing in the possibility of cuts in 2025, especially if inflation continues to decelerate.

🧠 Interpretation for investors

> "We are likely at the end of monetary tightening" = interest rate cuts may be on the horizon. > "We are attentive to the data" = volatility ahead, ideal for attentive traders. > "Tariffs may raise prices" = inflation may rise again, which would require caution.
