It is widely expected that the U.S. Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged this week, while continuing to monitor the implications of the sporadic tariff policy implemented by President Donald Trump, which casts a shadow over the world's largest economy.
Most economists expect that the tariffs imposed since January will lead to rising prices and slow down economic growth in the short term, which may prompt the Fed to prolong the monetary stabilization.
Loretta Mester, the former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, said, "The Fed needs to focus on curbing inflation so that it does not rise permanently again, otherwise the progress made over the past three years will be wasted."
