#鲍威尔发言 The Ultimate Power Showdown: Trump's Rate Cut Death Order and Powell's Life-and-Death Situation

In the early hours of today, the Federal Reserve announced: interest rates remain unchanged. This marks their fourth consecutive time of 'holding steady.' On the surface, everything seems normal, but beneath the surface, the confrontation between Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is almost sparking flames.

1. Trump presses hard, Powell rarely fights back

Over the past six months, Trump has almost publicly demanded every month: 'Hurry up and cut rates!' Just last week, he even directly requested a 'full one percentage point cut.' But this time Powell did not remain silent; he unprecedentedly pointed out: new tariffs are the 'real culprit' driving up prices, and ordinary families will ultimately bear the cost.

I carefully reviewed the data: in May, U.S. tariff revenue soared to $23 billion. Prices for computers, electronics, and other daily necessities are already rising. Powell clearly stated: 'This money will eventually be passed on to consumers'—this statement is almost a direct challenge to Trump's policies.

My personal opinion: this high-level game of chess is unlikely to produce a clear winner in the short term, but Powell's steadfast stance gives me more confidence in the independence of economic policy.
