POWELL WILL DO THIS AT THE NEXT FOMC
In the next Fed meeting coming up on May 6–7, a lot of people are watching to see what Chair Jerome Powell will say and do. So I guarantee you that this is what will happen 🔥✌️
Powell understands the pressure coming from President Trump...both publicly and behind the scenes. Trump has repeatedly pushed for rate cuts, citing economic strength and the need to stay competitive amid global shifts. But Powell won’t want to give the impression that he’s folding under political influence.
Instead, he’ll likely talk about how the U.S. economy is starting to recover, maybe mentioning strong job numbers, steady markets, or cooling inflation. This will help him justify a small interest rate cut, probably just 0.25%.
By doing this, Powell can support the market without making it seem like Trump is calling the shots. He’ll probably still mention worries about tariffs and global risks to show he’s being cautious.
Overall, Powell’s message will likely be: “We’re lowering rates a little because the economy is doing better—not because of politics.” That way, he keeps his credibility while giving the market the boost it’s hoping for.
