🎭 Powell and the Illusion of Control: What the Fed isn't saying openly?
Hello, Binance Square crypto community! 👋
Behind Jerome Powell's calm statements that the inflation and employment forecast "has hardly changed" lies a strategic attempt to avoid panic.
🎤 Key signals from the meeting:
1. "Inflation remains somewhat high": A soft formulation confirming: the fight is not over, and the Fed is not ready to admit that inflation is stuck above target.
2. A no-win trap: The Fed is caught between two fires:
Raising rates ⬆️ = Credit crisis and the breakdown of the U.S. debt machine.
Lowering rates ⬇️ = Inflation returns, exposing the fictitiousness of the recovery.
In fact, the Fed is now fighting not for economic health but for the illusion of control and stability. They are forced to keep rates high longer but cannot raise them further due to risks in government debt and the banking sector.
Big players (Goldman, BlackRock) know this game and are just waiting to "own the wreckage". Today, the Fed is fighting for its own significance.
