Powell stated that the U.S. economy is robust and there is no rush to cut interest rates, as high interest rate policies will be maintained. He is concerned that Trump's tariff policies could push up inflation and that more data is needed to support policy adjustments.
The market has low expectations for interest rate cuts, with only an 18.6% probability for a cut in July and over 80% in September. Additionally, Powell holds an open attitude towards cryptocurrency policies, allowing banks to engage in crypto activities under safe conditions, and has recently removed the 'reputational risk' regulatory standard.
Economist Peter Schiff criticized the Fed's long-term low interest rate policy, believing it could lead to an economic crisis and sovereign debt crisis.
