#PowellRemarks #PowellRemarks – Jerome Powell's Statements (June 2025) 📉📈

🗣️ Summary of the statements by the Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve Jerome Powell:

🔹 Monetary Policy:

The Fed remains cautious about lowering interest rates.

Inflation is still relatively high, and the Fed wants "more confidence" before starting to cut rates.

"We are not in a hurry," according to Powell.

🔹 Inflation:

Inflation is moving in the right direction, but the decline is not sufficient yet.

The main concern is in housing services and healthcare where prices remain high.

🔹 Labor Market:

The labor market is strong but is gradually cooling down.

Unemployment rates are stable, but some indicators suggest a slight slowdown in hiring.

🔹 Key Message:

✳️ "The risks are twofold: cutting rates too early could bring back inflation... waiting too long could harm the economy."

📊 Market Impacts:

U.S. stocks are experiencing fluctuations due to the uncertainty of the timing of the rate cut, while the U.S. dollar remains relatively strong. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have seen support due to the current policy remaining unchanged.

🕒 When will the cut happen?

Markets expect the first cut in September or November 2025, but the data will be the deciding factor.
