#PowellRemarks On June 18, 2025, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks post-FOMC meeting signaled no rate cuts, with rates unchanged at 4.25%–4.50%, citing a “solid economy.” His hawkish stance, emphasizing inflation risks from Trump’s tariffs, sparked a bearish market reaction, with Bitcoin dipping 2% to ~$104,000 and the S&P 500 falling 0.5%. Posts on X noted positive crypto regulatory sentiment, but Powell’s caution on stablecoin frameworks tempered optimism. Traders expect volatility as the Fed awaits clearer economic data. Monitor Powell’s next speech for clues on 2025 rate paths, especially with inflation at 3.0%. #Powellremarks
