Jerome Powell says: We are not in a hurry to cut interest rates until the impact of Trump's policies becomes clearer. We will not rush to cut interest rates until the impact of the new Trump administration's policies on the economy becomes clearer. Powell said: "The new administration is implementing major policy changes in four different areas: trade, immigration, fiscal policy, and regulation. The uncertainty surrounding these changes and their potential impact remains high. Our focus is on distinguishing signals from noise as the outlook changes. We do not need to act hastily, we are fully capable of waiting for a clearer outlook." Powell's remarks come at a volatile time shortly after the stock market and bond yields both fell, and Trump announced high import tariffs on major trading partners Mexico and Canada. Although Powell said the economy is "still in good shape," data also shows that consumer spending may slow down, and businesses and companies face "increased uncertainty about the economic outlook." Powell added that key indicators remain solid, and progress in inflation and employment is also increasing, albeit unevenly, but still ongoing.

Sumário: Em termos simples, Powell acredita que "Devido ao recente mandato de Trump e à gradual divulgação de uma série de planos, a incerteza em torno das tarifas e do ciclo de políticas está a ser monitorizada pela Reserva Federal. Ele afirmou que a Reserva Federal tem a capacidade de distinguir entre o bem e o mal, e a situação atual do mercado. Atualmente, a situação económica é favorável e não há urgência em reduzir as taxas de juro. Com base nas mudanças subsequentes no mercado, a Reserva Federal ajustará as taxas conforme necessário.
Trump acabou de terminar a conferência de imprensa no Salão Oval, sem mencionar o mercado cripto. Vou ver depois que a conferência cripto terminar. Vou acordar uma hora mais cedo para ver como está o mercado e as notícias nos EUA. Descansem bem, irmãos. Às 3:30, chamarei todos para a sala de transmissão ao vivo.
