‏⬅️ Summary of Federal Reserve Chair Powell's Remarks:

🏅 Monetary policy is not on a predetermined path.

🏅 Economic growth is expected to be 1.6% this year and 1.8% next year.

🏅 Unemployment is stable at 4.5%.

🏅 This year's inflation has mostly come from rising commodity prices.

🏅 Price increases due to tariffs will continue this year and next.

🏅 The Fed is committed to a 2% inflation goal and the optimal utilization of the labor market.

🏅 The supply and demand for labor has dropped sharply, and the market is no longer strong.

🏅 Interest rates will stabilize at 3.6% this year.

🏅 There was no broad support for a 50 basis point cut today.

🏅 The interest rate has now been cut by 0.25%.
