Summary

The Federal Reserve remains in a cautious “neutral” stance as it monitors economic uncertainties stemming from Trump’s trade, immigration, and regulatory policies.

Fed officials, including Raphael Bostic and Jerome Powell, emphasize uncertainty’s impact on inflation and employment.

Inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, with concerns about persistent price pressures. The Fed is reluctant to adjust interest rates until inflation stabilizes.

Economist Mark Zandi warns of financial risks, particularly a potential bond market sell-off.

    Inflation is here because of the unfair tariffs countries like Fuji, Honduras and Canada imposes on US goods. This is why Trump must defend the US economy.

      I’m not sure if you’re serious or trolling, but how much do you think a tariff from Fiji or Honduras is affecting US inflation?
