#PowellRemarks
🧠💼 Powell Speaks. Markets Listen. The Fog Thickens.
📍 FOMC June 2025 Recap:
🛑 Rates Unchanged — The Fed hit pause again, holding steady at 5.25%–5.50%. No surprises there. But Powell's tone? A little less chill than markets hoped.
📈 Tariff Trouble Ahead — Powell called out new tariffs as a “meaningful” inflation threat. Goods inflation could spike this summer. Translation: 📦 + 🛃 = 💸
🌫️ “Foggy” Outlook — His words, not ours. The macro path is murky, and the dot plot? All over the place. Rate cut hopes? They're alive, but they’ve lost their tan.
📉 Market Vibes:
• S&P 500: Flatline. Investors aren’t buying the soft landing just yet.
• 10-Yr Yield: Up to 4.39% — Bonds didn’t miss the hawkish undertone.
• Dollar: Holding strong.
⏳ What Now?
👀 All eyes on summer inflation prints & wage data. Powell's message is clear:
💬 “We’re ready to cut… but only when the real fog lifts.”

🚨 TL;DR:
Powell just reminded Wall Street — this isn't cruise control. Stay sharp. 🧠📊
