๐Ÿšจ Fed Holds Steady Again: Whatโ€™s Next? ๐Ÿšจ

The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged for the fourth straight meeting, ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ signaling a cautious stance despite cooling inflation. Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that more evidence is needed before moving toward cuts. The Fedโ€™s outlook hints at two potential rate cuts in 2025, but nothing is certain for this year.

Meanwhile, former President Trump stirred the pot again calling Powell โ€œstupidโ€ and demanding an aggressive 2% rate cut to stimulate growth ahead of the election season. ๐Ÿ“Š

With the economy sending mixed signals, investors are left guessing: Are cuts still on the table for late 2024, or will the Fed hold firm to avoid reigniting inflation?
