$SUI 🚨 Fed on Alert: Is Inflation About to Flare Up—or Finally Cool Down?
Behind the scenes, the Federal Reserve has been anything but quiet over the past few days. Top officials are sending mixed but powerful signals, and markets are paying close attention.
🔹 Richmond Fed President Barr acknowledged that inflation remains above comfort levels, but noted an important relief point: there’s no evidence it’s accelerating again.
🔹 Atlanta Fed President Musalem went a step further, suggesting inflation pressures are easing and could drift back toward the 2% target later this year. He also hinted that interest rates are now close to a “neutral zone,” meaning further cuts may not be necessary. According to him, policy is currently well-balanced.
Even more bullish for risk markets, Musalem described recent inflation data as encouraging, increasing the odds of a soft landing for the U.S. economy.
⚠️ But then came the twist.
U.S. House Speaker Johnson publicly urged the Department of Justice to continue investigating Fed Chair Jerome Powell, stating that if Powell is innocent, the process will clear him. That single comment injected political uncertainty straight into the market.
Now the bigger picture looks like this:
✅ Inflation appears to be slowing in a sustainable way
✅ The Fed is positioning to pause and hold steady
❗ Political pressure could still disrupt the narrative at any moment
The key questions remain unanswered:
Will Powell emerge unscathed from political scrutiny?
Can inflation truly make it back to 2% within this year?
Markets hate uncertainty—and this story is far from over.
