At 4:00 AM 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 clash between Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is almost sparking fireworks.

1. Trump tightens the pressure, Powell rarely fights back.

In the past six months, Trump has publicly called for: 'Quickly lower interest rates!' Just last week, he even directly demanded a 'full one percentage point cut.' But Powell did not remain silent this time; he unprecedentedly pointed out that the new tariffs are the 'real culprit' driving up prices, and the ones who will ultimately pay the price will be ordinary families.
