US RATE FUTURES RISE AS POWELL LEAVES JULY CUT ON THE TABLE

Short-term U.S. interest-rate futures edged higher after Fed Chair Powell stated he “can’t say” if July is too soon for a rate cut. The ambiguity keeps market hopes alive for a near-term policy shift, boosting dovish…

Nothing has changed, and nothing will change with the markets. Price will go up and down, follow your plan if you have one, and don't overleverage, and you will be fine. Most people on here complaining don't have a plan and overleverage.

Its so stupid to personalize this as a FED's president decision.

Only gaslighting justify this kind of approach, and a lot of people falls for this... It tells a lot about them!

Decision-Making Process

A. Economic Data Analysis

The Fed continuously reviews a wide range of data, including:

Inflation: Core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) and CPI

Employment: Non-farm payrolls, unemployment rate, labor force participation

GDP growth

Wage growth

Consumer spending

Global financial conditions and geopolitical risks

B. Forecasts and Projections

The Fed's Board of Governors and Reserve Banks produce economic projections using models and expert judgment. These are summarized quarterly in the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), which includes the "dot plot" showing individual FOMC members' rate expectations.

C. Monetary Policy Meetings

The FOMC meets eight times per year. During these meetings:

Staff economists present analyses

Each FOMC member (12 voting, 7 governors + 5 regional bank presidents) discusses their outlook

A policy decision is reached by majority vote

D. Communication and Forward Guidance

The Fed communicates decisions via:

FOMC statement

Press conferences (led by the Chair, currently Jerome Powell)

Meeting minutes (released three weeks later)

Speeches and reports, including the Monetary Policy Report to Congress

Policy Implementation

If the Fed decides to change the target federal funds rate:

It adjusts the interest on reserve balances (IORB) and open market operations (OMOs) to influence the effective federal funds rate.

The New York Fed’s Open Market Desk executes operations in the Treasury market to achieve the target.

Guys, calm the hell down. They will cut the rates at some point (probably in September). I do agree that the interest rates level at the moment is a little high. At the same time, the Fed needs to be conservative. J. Powell is acting exactly as he should. Stop listening to Trump's rhetoric about the Fed and start thinking with your own brain.

Master bullshitter. He talked crap then a week ago when he said that they need at least few months of data to see how tariffs will effect the inflation data. Well... he is working at the Fed after all. No honesty or integrity expected.

That's the consideration to all of it, but the lack of action is one thing to consider. on Biden era, he took action to help the economy by far. Now, the question, he is willing to help the economy at this point when its rising?
It's about whose party in office but the OUR ECONOMY(the American people)!
