#鲍威尔发言 Early this morning, the Federal Reserve announced: interest rates remain unchanged. This marks their fourth consecutive time of 'holding steady'. On the surface, everything seems normal, but beneath the surface, the clash between Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is almost sparking.
1. Trump pressures, Powell responds rarely
In the past six months, Trump has almost publicly called out every month: 'Hurry up and cut interest rates!' Just last week, he even directly demanded a 'full one percentage point cut'. But Powell did not remain silent this time; he unprecedentedly pointed out that the new tariffs are the 'real culprit' behind rising prices, and ordinary families will ultimately bear the cost.
I carefully examined the data: in May, U.S. tariff revenue soared to $23 billion. Prices for computers, electronics, and other daily necessities are already rising. Powell clearly stated: 'This money will eventually be passed on to consumers' — this statement is almost a direct challenge to Trump's policies.
