#CryptoStocks 🗣 Jerome Powell (head of the Fed): the rate remains, uncertainty persists

🇺🇸 The US economy is stable, but:

— Inflation is still above the 2% target

— Trump's tariffs are increasing inflationary pressure

— Consumer sentiment is declining

— The labor market is still strong, but cooling is possible

📉 We will not change the rate for now — the Fed is waiting for more data:

— There is no point in rushing into a decision

— The effects of tariffs are just beginning to show

— We expect a volatile summer: inflation, consumption, geopolitics

⚠️ Powell directly:

"Rate hikes are not the baseline scenario. But there is nothing to lower for now."

🛢 Iran-Israel? The Fed is monitoring the situation but does not believe that a spike in oil prices will lead to sustained inflation.

🧠 Overall message:

— The Fed's response will be flexible

— Current policy is 'moderately restrictive'

— The focus is on real data, not forecasts

🔍 Main point: the rate remains, the market waits, the Fed thinks. Trump's policies are becoming the number one factor for future decisions.
