#鲍威尔发言

Early this morning, 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 intensifies pressure, Powell rarely strikes back

In the past six months, Trump has publicly called for rate cuts almost every month: 'Hurry up and cut rates!' Just last week, he even directly demanded a 'full one percentage point cut.' But this time, Powell did not remain silent; he remarkably pointed out that the new tariffs are the 'real culprit' driving up prices, and ordinary families will ultimately foot the bill.

I carefully looked at 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 is almost a direct challenge to Trump's policies.
