Regarding the question of whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the second quarter, there has been a lot of discussion, and opinions are quite divided. On one hand, Trump is urging for a quick rate cut; on the other hand, the Federal Reserve has stated that the White House is the White House, and the Federal Reserve is the Federal Reserve. Current economic data is not very ideal, and inflation data has not met expectations. If interest rates are cut, inflation might rebound, so we need to wait a bit longer. Currently, both sides are in a state of extreme tug-of-war.
This year, any interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve will have to wait until the second half of the year to see how Trump's tariffs impact the situation. #美联储何时降息?
